This review is from: Breeding Society Finches (Hardcover)

This is an older book that I found in my local library. I went on Amazon to purchase this book because it had a lot of good tips on how to breed and care specificly for society finch. All the other books that I have read had to do with Zebra finches. It is a small handbook, but well written for starters. Although the photos were taken of only one clutch, there were many photos throughout the book to show the growth of the babies. I would recommend this book if you enjoy raising society finches. I still take this book out from time to time to re-read it. (I love breeding society finches!...wish there were more books about them.)
