BIRDS

TYPES OF CANARIES

Red Factor- A brilliant red colored canary, which was bred with another type of finch (any small seed eating song bird) to introduce a red color factor into the canary's genetic structure. Requires feeding a special diet to keep the intense coloring.

Crested Canary- One of the oldest breeds, with a unique crest or tuft of feathers at the crown of the head.

Border Canary- Yellow with variegated patches of white, green, or brown color bordering the wings.

PARROTS

Parrots are mainly tropical birds of the order Psitttaciformes, with a short hooked bill and strong grasping feet with two toes in front and two toes behind, which aid in grasping food and climbing .

There are more than 300 species of parrots, often having vivid colourful plumage. They move around in flocks, within which they are commonly seen in pairs. Nearly all parrot species are monogamous, commonly mating for years and sometimes for life.

Owing a parrot as a pet is entertaining as most of them are able to mimic the human voice. They make affectionate pets, but some species are more prone to bonding to just one person.

Please remember it is illegal to keep any birds in captivity with the only exceptions being lovebirds and blue rock pigeons.
