Great Resource Book

I found this book to a very valuable resource book for Canaries overall. The Barron Series of books have always been value packed and concise.

Adorable

Yes, this book is adorable. The pictures are wonderful. They range from images of canaries eating in a large group, to canaries at a show, to canaries in cages, to a canary-breeding room, canaries in nests, canaries canaries!! This book is very detailed, and covers bird accomodations, nutrition, breeding, history, illness prevention and cure, type canaries, color canaries, and song canaries. There are examples, very well photographed, of many of the type and color canaries. He is a real fan of song canaries, and gives interesting examples of the types of song, the breeds of song-canaries, and their potential. Just like the visual support for the color and type canaries goes beyond mere description, I would have loved to have a supplementary song-cd to go with the last chapter. It is inspiring, and than it leaves you off, wondering about this magical sound that he describes. Very cute, very nice, relaxing book; a journey into the world of canaries.
