What Are These?
Saw these on line.
Any ideas?

I was thinking a Canary and a Goldfinch, but the beak is huge....

Re: What Are These?
From what I can gather with Google translate, and cross referencing many sites with similar pictures, it's an albino European goldfinch. The name used for the bird is Saka, which I believe is Turkish for European goldfinch.
That's the best I could find.

I noticed that just under the picture it says Kanarya, which in Turkish means Canary, that's why I thought that it might be some sort of a Canary hybrid.

Re: What Are These?
This site has a cross with a canary http://kanarya2004.tripod.com/saka1.htm
It is confusing for sure. The other site has no mention of canary, that's why I assume it's not a cross. It's an interesting bird either way.

The bird in question is not actually a Goldie mule but a mutation Siberian Goldie which is classed as a eumo mutation

Hi Stuart and Rob,
Stuart, you are right, when I looked under Siberian Goldfinch mutations, sure enough there they were.

Trying to translate things from Turkish to English, is enough to make you go .
Words simply do not translate true to the meaning which they are meant to convey, lol.

Re: What Are These?
I used to have em a few years back but didn't really do anything for me, bred a few but not much and at £300 - £400 each and quite often more it was a hell of a lot of doe to pay out and to be honest just didn't think they were worth itlovezebs wrote: Rob Stuart whiting

Thinking about it I could easily get 3-4 pairs of very good quality waxbills for that and much much sooner have these
