Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on General Canary Care & Colour Enhancers:

General Canary Care:

Q: What do canaries eat?

A: A balanced canary diet consists primarily of a good quality canary seed mix. Supplement this with fresh greens (like spinach and broccoli), small pieces of fruit (like apple), and occasional treats like millet sprays.

Q: How often should I clean my canary's cage?

A: Spot clean daily, removing soiled areas and droppings. A thorough cleaning of the entire cage should be done at least once a week, including disinfecting the cage, perches, and feeders.

Q: What size cage does a canary need?

A: Canaries need space to fly. A cage that is at least 24 inches long is recommended for a single canary. Wider is generally better than taller.

Q: Do canaries need toys?

A: Yes! Canaries benefit from having a few simple toys like swings, ladders, and non-toxic, bird-safe objects to peck at and interact with.

Q: How often do canaries moult?

A: Canaries typically undergo a complete moult once a year, usually in late summer or early autumn. This process can take several weeks.

Colour Enhancers (Specifically Carophyll Red):

Q: What is a colour enhancer for canaries?

A: Colour enhancers, like Carophyll Red, are supplements containing pigments that, when ingested by red factor canaries during feather growth (moulting), intensify the red colour in their new feathers.

Q: How does Carophyll Red work?

A: Carophyll Red contains canthaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment. As the canary grows new feathers during the moult, this pigment is deposited, resulting in a richer and more vibrant red colour.

Q: When should I start using Carophyll Red?

A: It's best to start administering Carophyll Red a few weeks before the natural moulting period begins. Continue use throughout the entire moulting process until all new feathers have grown in.

Q: How do I use Carophyll Red?

A: Follow the specific dosage instructions provided on the Bamfords Carophyll Red packaging. It is typically mixed with soft food or added to the drinking water. Ensure fresh, unsupplemented water is also available.

Q: Is Carophyll Red safe for my canary?

A: When used according to the recommended dosage, Carophyll Red is generally safe for canaries. Always follow the instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Q: Will Carophyll Red change the colour of a non-red factor canary?

A: No. Carophyll Red will only enhance the red pigmentation that is already genetically present in red factor canaries. It will not turn a yellow or white canary red.

Q: How long will it take to see results?

A: You will see the effects of Carophyll Red as the new feathers grow in during the moulting process. It takes several weeks for a complete moult.
