Description
Zebra finches have been bred in captivity for many years, and as a result, many different mutations have appeared. This is a detailed study of these fascinating cage and aviary birds. Recommended to all who wish to study the various colors available. The color plates bring together all the possible colors at the present time.
This book covers the development of Zebra Finches from their first introduction into domesticity to the present day. It traces the introduction of each mutation and mentions the personalities involved. The management of these fascinating birds is also covered. In addition, possibly for the first time, all the main mutations are shown in full color from paintings by Miss Frances Fry.
