Passwell Factor Red

Passwell Red Factor Canary Seed 1.5kg: Canthaxanthin-Infused Colour Seed for Red Canaries

Passwell Red Factor Canary Seed is a ready-to-feed canary seed infused with canthaxanthin, the colour agent that keeps red factor canaries their rich, vivid red. Red factor canaries can only develop and hold their bright red colour if they get colour-enhancing carotenoids in their diet, and this seed makes that simple: the canthaxanthin is already infused through the seed, so there is no powder to measure, mix or add. You just feed it. Made in Australia by Passwell, it is an easy, effective way to bring out and maintain the best colour in your birds.

Colour feeding matters most around the moult. When a canary grows new feathers, the colour it takes in through its diet at that time is locked into those feathers, so feeding a colour seed through the moult is the key to a deep, even red across the new plumage. Feeding it consistently keeps your red factor canaries looking their best, which is exactly what breeders and exhibitors are after.

Because the colour is built into the seed, it is genuinely simple and consistent to use compared with adding a separate powder to food or water. The 1.5kg pack gives you a good supply to feed through the moulting and show season.

How to Use

Offer Passwell Red Factor Canary Seed to your red factor canaries as directed on the pack, either as their colour seed or mixed with their usual canary mix. Colour feeding is most important during the moult, when new feathers take on the colour from the bird's diet, so feed it consistently through that period for the best, most even red. Provide fresh water alongside, and keep the seed dry and sealed to maintain freshness. Follow the feeding guidance on the pack for your birds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Passwell Red Factor Canary Seed?
It is a canary seed infused with canthaxanthin, a colour-enhancing carotenoid. It keeps red factor canaries their bright red by providing the colour agent they need through their diet, with no powder to mix.

How does colour feeding work?
Red factor canaries develop red plumage from carotenoids in their diet. The colour is set into new feathers as they grow, so feeding a colour seed like this, especially through the moult, produces a deep, even red.

When should I feed it?
Colour feeding matters most during the moult, when new feathers are forming and take on the colour from the diet. Feed it consistently through that period for the best result.

How is it different from Factor Red powder?
This is a ready-to-feed seed with the canthaxanthin already infused, so there is nothing to mix. Factor Red powder is a concentrated colour supplement you add to food or water yourself. This seed is the simpler, no-mixing option.
