This book aims at being a valid tool for those who want to dedicate more profitably to canary breeding. It explains how the basic rules of colour canary breeding works and how to obtain the desired phenotype by crossing the various colours of canaries. The use of a simple language, accompanied by illustrations, makes clear and understandable both genetics and heritability of those characters underlying the different phenotypes.

The creation of Dolly the sheep in the 1990s was for many people the start of a new era: the age of genetically modified animals. However, the idea was not new for in the 1920s an amateur scientist, Hans Duncker, decided to genetically engineer a red canary. Though his experiments failed, they paved the way for others to succeed when it was recognised that the canary needed to be both a product of nature and nurture. This highly original narrative, of huge contemporary relevance, reveals how the obsession with turning the wild canary from green to red heralded the exciting but controversial developments in genetic manipulation.

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. Chapters contained within this book include: 'The Cinnamon Canary', 'Reproduction', 'Inheritance of Characters', 'Sex Determination', 'Sex Linkage', 'Manifestation of Cinnamon', 'The Cinnamon Gene', 'Cinnamon Matings', 'Green Cock x Cinnamon Hen', 'Cinnamon Cock x Green Hen', 'Green Cock (Cinnamon Carrier) x Green Hen', et cetera. This text has been elected for modern republication due to its educational value, and is proudly republished here with a new introduction to aviculture.

The second volume of the book series describes in a compact form the colour canaries and the fascinating breeding of carduelid hybrids. The author gives an overview of the history of genetics and the mechanisms of plumage colouration. The latest scientific findings are included. All currently bred and internationally recognised varieties of colour canaries are described in words and pictures. New are the colour descriptions according to the RAL colour system. Furthermore, there are valuable hints on breeding hybrids between canaries and other carduelids or between different carduelid species. Many mating is discussed and presented with pictures. These topics are rounded off with the necessary hints for participation in exhibitions and bird evaluations. In the appendix you will find a whole series of tables for the most diverse mating between individual canary colours.
