Color-Breeding in Canaries

This text contains a detailed treatise on color-breeding in canaries, concentrating on the cinnamon gene. Essentially a colour variety, the ideal cinnamon canary is a rich, dark, glowing red brown in the yellow form and a subtle blend of pinky and softer browns in the buff form. While never being a popular variety, it has always attracted the connoisseur Fancier, who appreciates the richness and delicacy of its colouring.
