Cinnamon Inheritance in Canaries

This text contains a detailed treatise on color-breeding in canaries, concentrating on the cinnamon gene. Essentially a ''colour'' variety, the ideal cinnamon canary is a rich, dark, glowing red brown in the yellow form and a subtle blend of pinky and softer browns in the buff form. While never being a popular variety, it has always attracted the connoisseur Fancier, who appreciates the richness and delicacy of its colouring. Chapters contained within this book include: ''The Cinnamon Canary'', ''Reproduction'', ''Inheritance of Characters'', ''Sex Determination'', ''Sex Linkage'', ''Manifestation of Cinnamon'', ''The Cinnamon Gene'', ''Cinnamon Matings'', ''Green Cock x Cinnamon Hen'', ''Cinnamon Cock x Green Hen'', ''Green Cock (Cinnamon Carrier) x Green Hen'', et cetera. This text has been elected for modern republication due to its educational value, and is proudly republished here with a new introduction to aviculture.
