Red Factor Canary or Red Factor Canary: How To Distinguish The Original Red Factor From The Fake

Red Factor Canary or Red Factor Canary

Is the red canary bird original or dyed? A question that has been asked to me many times by some friends who follow, whether on the bird hobby pageor the bird hobby channel. In order to resolve this ambiguity in the topic, and through this article, I will try to clarify this information or question, God Almighty willing. And we will begin with God’s blessing.

Red Canary, is it original or not?

Before we answer this question, we must first shed light on the red factor, or in Arabic, the red factor, so to speak. So, what is the red factor in short? It is a gene carried on an allele that is located within the chromosome responsible or the part of the chromosome responsible for the process of coloring the bird, or in short, it is a part Infinitesimal among many other parts present at the level (the DNA or DNA), the shape and composition of colors in birds differ according to the difference in the form of this gene or (the components of this gene, known scientifically as nucleotides). These extremely small particles differ in function according to the difference in their function. Their structure within chromosomes or chromosomes, as well as the differences between the chromosomes themselves and their numbering and shape. After getting to know this part very briefly, we will try to answer the following question:

How can I distinguish the original red canary from the fake red bird:

Before answering this question, we must know the source of red melanin and how it reached the canary, even though the canary originally was not red at all. In the 1920s or the twentieth century, the red Sora bird was brought to Venezuela, or what is scientifically called the red Saxon, which was its homeland at that time. The countries of South America, specifically the state of Venezuela, and the credit was due to the European soldiers who brought it during the era of World War I, led by George Baum-Peltzer, the military ambassador, Andak, and it is rumored that he was the first to produce this hybrid and also to bring South American birds to Europe repeatedly, and in this era Many breeders, as well as ornithologists interested in this field, tried to hybridize it with the yellow canary, out of their desire to discover new types of birds and environmental diversity. After many attempts and many generations, all the hybrid birds produced were sterile at first, and most of their colors were different, including yellow. Dark or orange-tinged, some of them are also characterized by a mask attributed to their male fathers, the Red Saxon and the black mask. After experimenting and researching, some of its producers arrived at hybrid and productive females, and through them they were able to provide a hybrid and productive strain between the yellow canary bird and the red masked Saxon bird. Birds are orange in color at best. Several decades later, it was discovered that birds need to be supplied with creatine, which is a natural chemical that can dissolve in fats and which is found in some vegetables and fruits, such as carrots and beets. Most likely, this discovery was by chance as a result of diversification. Eating, here the brightness of the color appeared, i.e. the color of the feathers, and the red color appeared prominently in many varieties of the red canary or the Red Victor canary, but despite all that, the colors were not bright enough until after some preparations for feeding birds were developed that would color the feathers. Birds effectively. After much experimentation in the laboratories of food production companies for birds, some dyes have been developed to color the feathers of canaries, giving them a bright and bright color. A food schedule and diet has been studied and adhered to by the breeder. The question remains, basically, how to verify the authenticity of the canary. Red is different from the fake canaries. This is what we will answer in the next paragraph.

Is there a natural red canary?

In fact, in order to remove the confusion and as a clear and frank answer, there is no original red canary at all. The origin of the red color is the result of what was previously mentioned, which is that its genes contain the red factor or the red factor, and that the breeder provided it with food colorings, whether natural or artificial, and as a convincing answer, he could not. Anyone who has yet produced a red canary based on a normal or original canary for this red color is merely an alien trait to the canary bird. This is why all red birds are excluded in internationally recognized canary song competitions because they are not original, but rather are the product of the mating of two different breeds of birds and gave this Adjective, this was the useful summary of the topic. I hope I have satisfied the curiosity of some of the people who always ask us about this topic and we have removed their confusion so that the question in the future is not: Is this red canary original or fake? But the logical question is: To which category does this red canary belong? Or how can I maintain the dark color of this red canary?

Very important note

It is absolutely not possible for a natural yellow canary to change its color to red unless it is dyed through a dye or colorant applied externally to the feathers and not through feeding, and this is what I have discussed in many previous topics.
