Type of canary

Although they are technically passerines, canaries tend to be managed uniquely, so here is a forum just for them!

Hi there mate,

Onest opinion is that I think it's a cross bred between a new colour canary and a gloster canary :mrgreen:

I can't actually see any straight pedigree in the bird

Over here in England we have a reasonably new breed of canary, when I say new it's probably a 30-40 year old breed but this isn't old as you probably know that some canary variety have been going for the last 150-200 odd years,

The breed than I'm talking about is the Stafford, it's actually a crested new colour canary although a lot of these are more like variegated crested red factor canaries,

It may be possible that if yer bird is a straight bird it could be a heavy variegated non colour fed new colour canary :-BD

Ahh ok, I tried looking at Web sites where they shown pics of types of breeds of canaries but the pics are blurry and not very helpful. If I had a clearer version it be easier for me to tell which breed is which. I currently have dominant white, red factors, and crested I'm breeding. I'm trying to keep like with like. To avoid an jnknown outcome.

Hi mate, have a look at the website of the CANARY COLOUR BREEDERS ASSOCIATION,

Colourcanaries.co.uk

There are some very good quality pics on the site :mrgreen:

Yep quite agree about like to like, in the canary world it's always best to have quality straight pedigree birds as mongerals really and truly are next to useless
