		Red coloring on the female only appears on the upper portion of the breast, and is faded on the wing bar, rump, and sometimes the undertail-coverts.
		The red gene is breed in to their canaries and used to enhance the color (red factor) in the canary or for colorbreed lines.

		Red Siskin birds, regarded as nearly extinct, have migrated to Guyana’s interior possibly from Venezuela.
		The brightly-coloured Red Siskin is known to originate from Venezuela, where more than a century of trapping for the cage-bird trade has left the species on the verge of extinction.
		He said that when specimens of the Red Siskin were taken to the facility after the discovery was made, tests on the birds’ feathers confirmed that the species was indeed the Red Siskin.

	Thirty odd years with the Red Siskin
		The Siskin is as hard as nails once acclimatised to its new aviary and surroundings but their requirements must be met.
		This support is only needed through the night and by working it closer as the hen sits she gets used to its proximity and when she doesn't sit, providing you have observed she is not going to sit, it can be switched on late afternoon and turned off early in the morning.
		If I wanted to put the young Siskins in the canaries' nests after they had been part reared by their parents I planned 4 to 5 days in age in front of the canary because of the length of neck stretch for food.

	Lipochrome Canaries V
		Red –red canaries are the product of genetic manipulation by man, they have been obtained by crossing the common canary with Venezuelan Red Siskin (Carduelis Cuculatta).
		A lot has been said about the harm that these agents may cause to the liver, however there are no documented studies, nevertheless caution should always be taken not to overwork this organ, the excrement is used as a guide, and the amount is correct when the droppings are a light reddish color.
		Some breeders deprive their birds of greens in the believe that they interfere with the achievement of the proper coloration however using carrots, red peppers and other greens of high carotene content are helpful in supplying other sources of red pigments.

		I have kept and bred Red Siskins for more than twenty years now, and providing that lots of Niger and unhulled sunflower seeds along with some green food is offered, they could easily be established in captivity and then reintroduced back into the wild.

		The first red factor he ever owned was freeze-dried after death and placed in an antique cage, but that's the only bird he ever got sentimental over.

		From the Red Siskin they have inherited the ability to concentrate red carotenoids in their feathers, as long as sufficient quantities are present in their blood while their feathers are growing in, while their hardiness and free-breeding style comes from the ever-adaptable canary.
		While it is true that many red factors will wind up looking rather more yellow than red if they are not colour-fed through their moult, it is not true that a canary with no siskin ancestry can be coloured similarly to a true red factor through colour-feeding.
		The Red Siskin in its native habitat is able to easily forage for much higher concentrations of carotenoids than is available to a bird from more northern climes.

		The non-color-fed shades of red in canaries is derived from the Black-hooded Red Siskin of Venezuela.
		When it was found that introducing the Red Siskin bloodlines into the canary gene pool produced brilliant red and orange hues of Red Factor canaries, extensive trapping and exportation occurred, seriously depleting the wild population.
		Many of the Red Siskins in captivity have been genetically intermingled with canaries, but Red Siskin enthusiasts have been trying to sort these captive Siskins out and once again breed them, possibly reintroducing them to their native habitats in the future.

		Black-hooded Red Siskins are highly endangered and threatened with extinction in their natural habitat and conservative estimates suggest that there are probably no more than a few hundred pairs left in the wild.
		Known as the "Red Siskin Recovery Project", this effort currently being sponsored by the American Federation of Aviculture aims to establish a breeding stud with young birds being released to bolster wild populations to ensure the Black-hooded Red Siskin will be around for future generations.

		The red colour of the Red Factor was bred into canaries many yeas ago by a German breeder known as Dr. Hans Duncker who crossed a male South American bird known as the Red Siskin with a Border Fancy canary hen.
		Red Factor canaries can come in a range of colours such as a very deep orange (almost red), copper, apricot, pink and also red-bronze.
		Many breeders and fanciers feed their Red Factor canaries commercially bought colour supplements during the molt to enhance the birds colours.
