ID please... what mutation and color is this?
Seller says its a consort but i just want to be sure from the experts here.
I compare him to my other canary pair he has big size and fluffy feathers

thanks.

Looks just like the consort gloster I had one time, beautiful!
best of luck

Gorgeous! I would say yes it is. =)

dExToY what a beautiful bird!! Congrats and best of luck!! Such a sweetheart!

Thanks lizzy, debbie and fhgwgads...

Im gonna pair him up with my crested cinnamon green hen. They are in my flight cage together and their giving me sign to put them in a breeding cage. Hahahaha. Maybe they cant wait though... ill put them in breeding cage in a couple of weeks so they can get to know more and a bit excited...

hhhmmmnnnn... just wondering whats the color mutation he has... im not an expert but it looks like green for me. Im not sure though coz of the yellowish white on his tail feathers. (See pic above).
I guess ill wait for the other mutation experts here to ID the color...

Thanks.

I've bred and raised many, many canaries in the past, but sorry genetics was not my specialty. I always put more emphasis into learning about behavior and health. Some of the crosses I created, canary purists would probably consider sacrilege. For example pairing a $300.00 pedigree show songster with a $25.00 flea market hen. Why? Because I liked her color and it worked for me. Beautiful bird you have regardless. Bob

30 Seconds to Bob as I see it.. love is love! I am not that great with genetics either and too focus more on health and behavior but I believe what's meant to be is meant to be and everything happens for a reason. I don't have any show birds but as far as I'm concerned all my babies are equal! Even my little one-eyed crooked-beaked monster!!

Here's a couple of links that may be of help identifying them.

Thanks guys...

i want to pair him up with a beautifull hen as well so their off springs will be like them or more than them. Thats why i want to know his color mutation. I dont want to mix up different color and have a bad result. i just want to make sure the pairing is ok.

thanks debbie, ill check the links you gave...

tnx.
