Description
As the Gouldian Finch has become domesticated, its popularity among aviculturists throughout the world has grown at a tremendous pace. It is now probably more widely kept and bred than the Zebra Finch, yet there has been, until now, no up-to-date and comprehensive text on keeping and breeding these colorful birds. This book covers all aspects of this beautiful bird.
Note: Pages throughout this book are yellowed due to age.
