What to Look For When Pairing Feather Types?
When breeding some canaries, especially colourbreds, it’s important to ensure that your pair has compatible feather types, so as to guarantee youngsters with good feather quality. in my opinion the best way to find out if you have a good pair or not, is to pull a feather from the breast of each, and then look at them on a sheet of paper of contrasting colour, so you can see the details clearly; in other words, for a dark feather use light-coloured paper, for a yellow or white feather use black or dark brown or grey paper.
