[.ca] Colored Atlas of Lovebirds (ISBN 0793804736)

The best at the moment...:
It is well a book documented, presenting a scientific part very well studied and deepening well the genetics. The function practices and of description of the species it is very good and we can find details worthy of a great creator of Agapornis. I just criticize the great exhibition of roseicollis mutations, leaving of part many mutations already existent in the nigrigenis, fisheri and lilianae. My congratulations to the author and its work.

Reviewer: Owner, Breeder, Lover of Lovebirds:
This book is a must for anyone who is interested in the SCIENCE of professional breeding, especially for unusual color (read: more expensive birds)... it is truly NOT for the casual bird fancier. If you're buying it to better understand, care for and enjoy your pet, you will be disappointed. (Note: This reviewer believes that the breeding of birds should be left to professionals. Breeding birds 'casually' or 'at-home' is not a good practice. Baby birds are more than a lot of work, and there are many things that can go wrong, causing anguish to both owners and birds.)

Interesting and informative.:
This book is becoming slightly dated as new mutations have arisen, and some pics show birds in other than their best plumage. These minor faults aside, the genetic explanations and practical knowledge available to the breederin this book are most useful. And many (if not all) of the pictures are terrific. Other volumes or info on the web are needed for detailed lovebird care, but this book is most useful re: mutations and their selection.
