Canary breeds

This delicate and endearing creature, which enlivened and enchanted the castles and palaces of medieval and Renaissance Europe, needs your most careful attention to continue to be a joyful, melodious and happy companion. With the help of this book, that won't be a difficult task as the reader will find all the information they need: the origin of the canary; the 120 breeds of canaries; observation and breeding; the birth of chicks; the pair, the family and flock life; the range of canary colours; moulting; feeding; diseases and, finally, the four classes of singing canaries. Klaus Speicher, the author, is a breeding judge and collaborated with several European specialists to make this work a reliable source of the most modern breeding techniques. The magnificent colour photographs attest to the chromatic beauty of these small birds.
