One of the things that make the canary such an amazing pet is their lifespan; they can live for up to a quarter of a century if properly cared for, in a clean environment. The orange canary is a "Red Factor" bird, that is a genetic mix of the Black Hooded Siskin and a German Roller Canary. While they're naturally a shade of orange or red -- you can feed them to enhance or change their color to something more unique, if you like. These chipper little birds are a great addition to any household, but you should take care to examine potential pets, before taking them home from the breeder: • They should appear quite active and excited for the most part. An canary with a sullen look on their face and no excitement in their eyes may likely be sick. • Cup them in your hands and feel the breast-bone of the bird. A protruding breast-bone means that the animal is too thin and may not last very long (sick canaries are hard to recoup). • After checking the breast-bone of your orange canary: Put their chest to your ear and listen to their breathing -- a clicking noise may indicate respiratory issues with the bird. • If you're paying for a true orange canary; make sure the breeder is well-commended and even part of a Canary Breeder's Club. The bird will only be good as it's parents and grandparents. When it's all said and done and you have a wonderful orange canary lighting up your home with it's wonderful song and endearing movements, you'll no doubt be the talk of all your friends. They also make for a great show bird and major competitions take place all over the world to celebrate this beautiful bird.
