PRACTICAL PAIRING OF COLOR BRED CANARIES (By G. A. Abbate, Sr.)
The following pairing refers to either yellow ground, white ground, or red-orange ground. The male, when referred to as black brown, is
intended to be green, blue or bronze. The agate, brown and Isabelle, as you already know, exist in the three ground colors. Therefore, the
black brown, as already stated, in the following pairing is intended for green, blue, and bronze only. In the last couple of years throughout Europe all of the black brown have been referred to as
black. Because I am old fashioned I continue to say black brown. In other words, I am an old fashioned traditionalist. PAIRING WITH MALE BLACK-BROWN HOMOZYGOTE (Pure)
