Mosaic is a term for a color variation in Canaries. A few of the colors Mosiac Canaries can be include Red, Red-Brown, Yellow, and Yellow-Opal.
The Atlantic canary (Serious canaria) is known worldwide simply as wild canary. It is a small passerine bird belonging to the genusSerinus in the finch family, Fringillidae. It is native to the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira.
Other names:
It is also called the island canary, canary or common canary.
Description:
The mosaic feather tends to be wider than the non-intensive feather and has a larger frosted tip. This means that most of the lipochrome color that still exists in the bird is hidden, except for the specific areas that make a bird with this feather type identifiable. As with the other two feather types, there is a large variation in the width and length of the feathers of mosaic canaries.
Song:
The song is a silvery twittering similar to the songs of the serin and citril finch.
Breeding:
Cup shaped nest. The eggs are pale blue or blue-green with violet or reddish markings concentrated at the broad end. A clutch contains 3 to 4 or occasionally 5 eggs and 2-3 broods are raised each year. The eggs are incubated for 13–14 days and the young birds leave the nest after 14–21 days, most commonly after 15–17 days
