5.0 out of 5 stars Best Lovebird Colors Book Yet!!, May 30, 1999
I have a LOT of lovebird books, and so far this one is the very best I have seen yet for color mutations and genetics!!! Very current, in-depth coverage, especially of the Peach-faced Lovebird, with lots of good photos - not the same stock shots we are all used to!! If you have been looking for a great book on lovebird colors and genetics, this is it! Covers other lovebird species to a lesser extent. Also has sections on behavior, breeding & health. (Does not have info for the typical pet owner, such as feeding and taming.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Reviewer: Owner, Breeder, Lover of Lovebirds, July 8, 2001
By Allison Elliott "aelliott1" (Winter Park, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.)

3.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PICTURES ..., August 31, 1999
THIS BOOK HAS GREAT PICTURES AND THE AUTHOR IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAINS CERTAIN INTERESTING POINTS. HOWEVER, I FOUND IT CONFUSING SOMETIMES AND WITH A LACK OF EXPLANATIONS IN CERTAIN AREAS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO BEGINNERS (ONLY TO ENJOY THE PICTURES).ALSO, THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE MUTATIONS ARE TOO COLORFUL ... NOT WHAT THE AFRICAN LOVE BIRD SOCIETY USES, THIS IS WHAT IN MY OPINION WOULD CONFUSE A BEGINNER.
