This book does not cover the different types of finches & softbills. It is very general information only, on breeding and care of finches & softbills, no help to the person wanting more specific info. on the different types of finches and their care.

I think this is a very good, detailed book for someone new to finches & softbills. At times, it flips back & forth between finches & softbills in a paragraph, which can be confusing for a novice, but it's easy to figure out. It has enough nice pictures to give a good overview of many species, but is not a "picture book" - it is for someone who is serious about the birds and their care. Early on it has a section of compatability which is useful and neccessary. It has a lot of details on aviary housing (many finch books do), and bird rooms, which isn't useful to the average home/apt. bird owner, but more information is better than too little. It is definitely a good resource book.

I found this book easy and very informative. It adds great valuable information and demonestrations about wide varieties of finches

This book is worth buying.
It is well written, informative and beautifully presented. The book came as a laminated "Paperback", not a "Hard Cover" as advertised. This is a shame because it would have made a really good Coffee-Table Book, but for the price it is well worth it.

I would recommend The Finch Handbook to anyone getting started in the care and raising of these beautiful little creatures. It is difficult to find information for the advanced bird keeper, so if you do not already have this book, I would read and enjoy it.

This book encapsulates the best possible groundwork for the beginner to still leaqrning softbill fan. Comprehensive care and breeding "how to's"
I enjoyed this book immensely and learned some breeding tips even.Thanks

I purchased this book in February of 2010 and I am so glad I did. Here I tell a little bit about what I like and what I would change about this book if I can.
