Bump to the top in case a canary person is checking posts. Wish I knew - he's a good looking bird (and love the name!). Did you get him from a breeder or a store?

sorry I cant help you with this either, dont know much about anything and even less about canaries
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.

Your canary is a bronze non-intensive.
The new name for that color is red black non intensive.
When fed the correct carotenes during the molt, the orange parts turn red.

Someone left him and his partner, Tika, at a Petco for adoption. They were in pretty bad condtion when I got him.

Someone said he is a Stafford?
