Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Your avatar ....? Is that you, getting hold of my throat, if I post " I wish I was closer, mate! " Sorry. Couldn't resist that one, it being Friday night and all. Seriously though; WTF is a 'Red and Black' canary? Sounds more like a game cock! O M F G!!! I just looked on Google! Love to see a clearer shot of your bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 10,774 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Not really mate,a old fella at the local bird club keeps a few and adds them to his red factor strain ever now and again to add a bit of better colour to them and then he breeds back to the red factor and apart from a few i have seen for sale at a few bird shows through the summer that is all i know about them,fare to say a nice canary and if i remember when the next club meeting is and i get to it i'll ask him but i do know he sold his last spare ones at the last East of England bird sale as i was at his table when he sold them.
