hi can anyone help me with identifying my new canaries

1.male 2.female

The male is a medium variegated blue and the hen is a clear yellow.

Both are very pretty. I especially like the male's unique look...

As far as breed is concerned, I'm stumped. They certainly aren't Razas, Fifes, Glosters, Borders, or Norwich though. Those are the only breeds I know how to identify off the top of my head. I'm curious for someone more experienced to chirp in...

On a side note, if you breed the two you can expect to get half clear birds and half variegated. If your male is dominant white you can expect to get half white-ground and half yellow-ground birds. If he's recessive white you can expect to get all yellow-ground birds. I'm leaning towards dominant white because it looks like he has a tinge of yellow along his wing... Then there's the possibility your hen could be full cinnamon (hidden because she's clear) or your male could be a cinnamon carrier... Fun, aye?

lol that breeding thing is so confusing... i am not planing to breed the two yet cause the male is too young (just 5 months old)
pretty confused with the breed i saw the parents of this bird, the female was a yorkshire and the male was a frilled canary (don't know which breed )

They are both beautiful! Congrats
