[.uk] Zebra Finches Complete Owner's Manual (ISBN 0764110403)

• Barrons Zebra Finches

little book:
This is an excellent book but it is too short. I would have liked to have seen more information. His chapter on habitat and distribution is great, it follows with behavior and flocks and colonies. He has interesting and useful pictures of the birds in the wild, but they are all on one page. You kind of say, ''oh,'' when it should have been ''wow.'' It had tremendous potential but it seems like someone took a scissor and hacked off too much original content. The illustrations are great, and they are all of Zebra finches. He includes drawings and pictures of aviaries, and other housing options, suggestions galore. Then, in the section on ''health care,'' someone cut and pasted a picture of a canary having its nails clipped. It places a caption, ¨trim your bird's nails carefully to avoid injury.¨ It just seems to scream ''aw to hell with it, we gotta press.'' Bad, shabby attitude. ... Hopefully trim your Zebra's nails more carefully, than the guys who edited the book would have! The canary shown is also twice the size of a Zebra finch. The author suggests holding the little claw up to a light, to not cut into a blood vessel; far from what the picture demonstrates. Despite the shortcomings, which appear to be out of the author, Hans Jurgen Martin's control, ¨Zebra Finches¨ is an informative, fun read. His love for these little birds is so clear, and just as contagious.

Definately A Must Have Book For A New Owner:
This is a must have book for a new owner. I found it to be very helpful and an easy read. After reading a few other books I still had many unanswered questions. This book answered almost all of them! In the future I will buy all books about Zebra Finches written buy Hans-Jurgen Martin.
