There are red silkies, but I think a lot of folks don;t realize how dark a good buff can be. There is a different HUE to red than to buff. Look here to see photos of real red silkies:

Now THAT'S what I'd call RED! As Illia stated, the mahogany is needed, and those two have it! Kudos to their developers, I'd love to see that color here in the states! Thanks for that link Sonoran

Illia, It did the same thing here. Just let it load, it takes some time. Don't try to scroll down for about 5 minutes!

The two RED birds seen there are worth the wait!!
