Product Description
Product Description
Zebra finches are very close to wild birds in their behaviors, and the natural history and behavior of these birds is discussed in detail. Zebra finches mate for life and do not do well living alone, so most often they are purchased in pairs. The book takes this into consideration right from the start, and all care and handling information is offered for two or more birds. This includes detailed information on breeding, which is extremely popular with owners of exotic finches. Proper housing, routine care, and in-depth information on nutrition and feeding are included. Possible health problems are also covered.
A Resource section provides information on birds clubs, books and magazines and useful Internet sites.

A good finch book,
By Michelle M. Ress "safoocat" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Zebra Finch: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
We got this book to help us with our finches and it's a good book with nice illustrations too. It's not real technical but it is adequate for a first book on finches and as it turned out the only book we needed.

This review is from: The Zebra Finch: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)
This book was highly informative and entertaining. It covered all the areas I needed to know about my little zebra finch and also showed pictures of other breeds of finches that are available. Secondly, it was great value for my money and the company I purchased it from shipped it so fast I was highly pleased.
