    I have a red factor canary, It is nectarine colored and has the sweetest personality immaginable.

    Its really half canary and half Venezuelan finch. The yellow of the canary and the red of the Venezuelen finch gives it the nectarine color

    Below I;m pasting the wikipedia info

    The red factor canary is a popular breed of canary. It is named after its colourful plumage, and is a 'color canary', bred for the novelty of its color rather than for song. It is kept by those who want a pet as well as those who enjoy showing.

    It is an active bird, hardy and very easy to keep; however it is not easy to breed.

    First bred in the 1930s, it is the only colour canary that has an element of red as part of its plumage. It was developed as a cross between another type of finch, the now endangered Venezuelan Black Hooded Red (Siskin Spinus cocullatus), and the Yellow Canary (Serinus canaria).

    A well built bird, the fed factor canary is about 5½ inches (14 cm) in length. These canaries are bred for showing so therefore many versions of this canary exist today. They are divided into Melanins and the Lipochromes classes. These are further divided into frosts or non-frosts, which affects how bright their color appears, and then into hard and soft feathers.

    Red ractor canaries are usually available at most pet stores, and can also be found through bird shows, bird clubs, breeders, and on the internet.
