Geoffrey - Zebra canaries!

[Shirley]

I saw the most beautiful pair of canaries for sale at the fair yesterday - Zebra red (or was it Red Zebra) they were gorgeous! The male was a deep red-orange with brown zebra stripes throughout, and the female was lighter of the same. $150 for the pair. Didn't get them, but thought of you. Didn't have my camera or I'd have taken pics for you.

Can't find any pics doing a google image search, either.

Wow....I've never even heard of that mutation! Were they a mule-variety canary? Or 100% canary? *runs off to google!*

ETA: Do you know if it's an actual strain? Or more of a pattern that's found within another mutation (ie. a certain pattern of variegation as opposed to a true-breeding strain)???

[Eriisu-chan]

Kinda like this? Only smaller stripes? :shrug2:

That sounds SO cool Shirley!!

[Shirley]

Kinda like that in color, Elise, but VERY stripey...
If we didn't have so many birds--- I'd have been tempted. We we seriously have too many to spend more time--

[CocosMomma]

Kind of like this, except smaller, Shirl??:nuts: :D

[Shirley]

Yes, Robin! That's it!!! Just mix the two colors of those two together!!! :agree: :roflmao2:

[jimleasure]

i was going to ask if they looked like this at all. but since you said they look like the other picture i guess there is no need. these are lizard mutations by the way.

YES!!! And they were called LIZARD not Zebra... see what happens when you get old?? Thanks JIM!!

I love the Lizards! When I first got canaries I considered them, but I thought I might like to breed and people seem to go for bright reds and yellow instead of awesome patterns :( I liked Reds anway, so I figured I would go with the type that's easiest to place if needed.

[Eriisu-chan]

What if breed bright red with yellow lizard? you'd get the bright color AND cool patterns? :shrug2:

I DO take care of zebra-tailed lizards.....I'm sure Shirley just has a couple of those herself and that is why she got it confused.... ;)

And, now look what we've done with her thread, when all she really wanted to know is the proper name... gourds... g-o-u-r-d-s.:agree: (Not pumpkins, Jim...:rolleyes:)

I said to breed "bright colors" and "cool patterns"... Red and yellow make orange, yes... I'm an artist and a painter, I know! ;) you saying orange isn't a bright colour? :confused:

I'm confused...

This is why I'm not sure if you can babysit for my fids.... how are you with green, gray, yellow and blue?:shrug2::doh:

[Eriisu-chan]

To be honest, I have NO idea what you're talking about... :shrug2:

At all... :shrug2:

Green and gray make a khaki type yucky green
Gray and Yellow, too... just more yellow-ish
yellow and blue make green
green and yellow and blue make green
Gray and blue make a dull type blue... kinda cloudy...

I was just hoping for: Coco is green, Sammy is yellow and gray, and Strider is yellow and blue. The Diva does not like the terms "khaki" or "yucky green"!:eek::funny: (But, at least you offered to be a good friend a fid-sit... unlike Jim who's not willing to drive 10 hours twice a day...) pfft!

[Eriisu-chan]

Oh, I thought you were asking about colour mixes, since your previous post said "red and yellow make orange"... I can play colour association, too, but I need the right rules before I know what your puzzles are!! :funny:

You forgot the yellow on Diva's head, the white on Sammy's shoulders (and redish cheeks!) and the black stripes on Strider... How's that for "how I am with colours" eh? EH?! :funny:

So, I hear that Shirley saw a really cool gourd at the fair yesterday!:eek:

[Eriisu-chan]

Did it have stripes? :funny:

[CocosMomma]

There is something FISHY about this whole 'gourd' story... get a load of THIS:


...but thought of you. Didn't have my camera or I'd have taken pics for you.

Really?? Is it just me, or is this a little hard to believe???:shrug2::rofl:
