Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A

Could be Siskin
The Red Hooded Siskin is responsible for producing the red factor canaries that we know today

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I also found this which says that canary x bullfinch whilst being very colourful are also quite hard to produce so I think it is more likely to be siskin and my OH who was very into cage birds also seems to think it is the siskin.
dunno if that helps at all

Color Canary: as in the Color Bred or Red Factor canaries. The Red Factor can be found in all shades from very light oranges, coppers, deep red-oranges, to almost red. The Red Factor is a strain achieved from interbreeding the canary with the Red-Hooded Siskin, Carduelis cucullata. Today, in the wild, the Red-Hooded Siskin is very rare and is endangered.
