    You can buy red soft egg food for red factor canaries. I have the red egg food for my canary and regular for the rest of my birds. Fed once a week.

    In Italy we mix 8 grams of carophyl red to 1 kg of soft-food, i guess there is a lot of different ways to achieve the end result. Greetings from a fellow breeder!

    I want to try the redfactor to this year. I have got some soft food now that is already red but it is expensive to buy like that.
    How is the breeding going? I`m still breeding at this moment, got 16 young ones and a few nests with eggs. I think i will get 20 or 30 young birds this year.

    I'm thinking to obtain a recessive white female canary with a intense red male canary. Is this color agent safe for other types of birds to ingest without harm? Because I do want to keep my one pair of canaries in my aviary with society finch, diamond dove, senegal dove, zebra dove, button quail, namaqua dove, and bourkes parakeet. Would feeding this color agent be any danger to the other birds? For this reason I'm thinking to feed natural foods to keep the red coloring up.

    Hi, I am looking to buy a 15 gram tin of Carophyl Red from Haiths, to start giving to my 2 red factors and their young in the next few weeks. I know this probably goes a long way but it does seem a very small amount for the cost. ........ Was wondering if you think this amount will make enough water for all of these birds through their moult. They have 3 babies from their first nest and have 2 still in their nest at the moment :)
