A book dedicated to
canary care and breeding for both the canary fancier and pet owner!
Many modern books
available in pet and book stores about canaries tend to be overviews of
canaries in general, filled with glossy photos and little in-depth
information. Many of the most useful books about raising and exhibiting
canaries are decades old and hard to find. I wrote this book after
receiving a large number of requests from people looking for quality
information about canaries.
This book covers
topics such as breeding, general care, health & disease, feeding, the
song (specifically American Singer song), show training and many more
topics of interest to those looking for practical information about
canaries in general and American Singers in particular. One entire
chapter of the book focuses on the most frequently asked questions of
new owners of pet canaries while others offer detailed information of
interest to those seeking to breed and exhibit birds.
The book has been
read and reviewed by some of the most experienced and successful
American Singer breeders in the country and is highly recommended by
them- in fact, referrals by those breeders have been responsible for the
largest number of word-of-mouth book sales.
The Practical
Canary Handbook is 148 pages long and packed with useful
information!
