    4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, March 4, 1999
    By A Customer
    This book has everything one could ask for. Breeding section, Resting Section and Molting Section. You really can just follow the recommendations and you won't go wrong.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners or for children, August 28, 2001
    By A Customer
    If you're thinking about getting pigeons, or if you have a child interested in them then this book is fine. If you want more detail on the different breeds, diseases, reproductive system/cycle, or behavior then this book isn't for you. It's not an expensive book and makes for a nice little read, but if you're hardcore pigeon folk then you'll come away from this book disappointed.
