Summary: A good to buy book!!
Review: I found this book very interesting, and providing helpfull information for the average finch keeper. I have been raising and breeding exclusively gouldians for about 13 years now, so I find the genetics section in this book (though not VERY elaborate) of primordial importance. I also liked the vivid description of the nuptial dance, the sound and chirps etc... as well as the pictures. So, if to say, on a scale of ten, 1 being a very silly book and 10 an extensive genetical analyisis and nutritional guide for expert breeders, I give this book a well-earned 7.

Summary: Very thorough treatment
Review: If you are serious about raising these beautiful birds, this book is a must. It covers everything I needed to care for my Gouldians. The pictures are also quite nice. The section on genetics is very important for us who want to breed them, which is a lot of fun.

Summary: A Good Place To Begin
Review: This book is one of a series of pet books which do actually tell you most of what you need to know if you want to keep the pets concerned.For once, I did things the right way round and bought the book BEFORE the birds, and as a result I have learned a number of tips which I hope will make my keeping of these beautiful birds more successful. The photos are excellent but I query whether the average finch keeper would need quite so much detail on finch genetics - and am left amazed that breeders seem to be going to such lengths to breed all colour out of a finch whose chief attraction, to me at any rate, is its bright plumage!

Summary: A Great Place to Start
Review: This book is very accessible, has solid information for the beginner or person who just got a bird and needs to quickly know the basics. The photos are lovely, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in a good overview of gouldians.
