RED INTENSIV !
Orlux Can-tax helps to maintain or intensify the red colours of your birds. In captivity the red plumage of the various bird species turns pale or disappears (e.g. red colour canaries, mealy redpoll- Is, linnets and goldfinches…) That’s why We have to give red colour additives to These birds during the feather develop Ment to achieve an optimal red colora- Tion.
When breeding red colour canaries, it is Recommended to provide Orlux Can-tax To the parent birds two weeks before the Laying of the first egg; so the flight- and Tail-feathers of the young birds will be Well-coloured from the first year.
Orlux Can-tax can be given in the drin- King water and in the softfood. To be Sure the birds take in the right amount of Colourant to achieve an optimal colora- Tion, particularly for exhibition birds, it’s Recommended to provide Orlux Can-tax Softfood.
To maintain the nice even, red colora- Tion outside the breeding season, it’s Advisable to provide Orlux Can-tax (in Case some feathers have to be replaced).
