"Concentrate of Carotenoids.
You can buy a mix that should be added to water or food.
You must have a red factor canary for this to work. Color feeding would have little or no effect on common canaries.
This mix is a concentrate of Canthaxanthin and Beta-Carotene. For best results get a concentrate that has BOTH Canthaxanthin AND Beta-Carotene--not just one.
Some have sugar additives of sucrose, dextrose, as well as vitamin C and vitamin B but these FILLERS don't help with the coloring. They only dilute the mix. Try to buy pure concentrate to get your moneys worth.
It has been said that feeding these concentrates year-round will cause liver and kidney damage to your red factor canary but I've known breeders that use concentrates all the time, year-round, and have never had any problems. Just follow the directions on the box and you and your red factor canary will be fine.
Feed these foods and concentrates immediately before and during the molt. All new feathers will come in red. You can continue to feed carotenoids to your red factor canary after the molt so that if a feather is lost and re-grown it will also grow-in red."
