Finches For Dummies Paperback – April 13, 2007

This book is written for the lay-man. I love this book. I love all the "for Dummies" books anyway. I have several. If you own Finches, buy this book. If you want to own Finches, buy this book. I cannot say enough about the "for Dummies" books. This book was very inexpensive on Amazon.com. I am so glad I found this book on Amazon.com. It's 19.99 brand new. I bought mine for less than 10.00. This book tell you everything you need to know about Finches. And if you think you know all about Finches, this book will show that you don't. This is a fantastic book.

accidentally ordered this book twice

I ordered this book hoping for some guidelines on starting an aviary and learning about the different finch species.Big mistake, this book is for beginners who know nothing about bird care.Also I would have liked to at least some pictures of the few species it does mention.So if you have a zebra finch or a society finch and need to learn the very basics of care this book is for you.But if you already know how to feed and water your finch then pass this up.

I started my finch research with this book. The book provides good basic information on the care, feeding and breeding of domestic finches. It's a good starting point for a complete novice finch owner, though the Finch Handbook by Barrons Pet Handbooks is more detailed and probably a better overall reference.

This book answered all the basic questions a first time bird owner needs to know. I found this to be a good resource. The breeder I got the finches from was in complete agreement with the information in this book. It includes interesting tidbits along with all basic knowledge needed to ready oneself for caring for these darling birds. I can't say enough good things about this book!

Good book for beginners.

My family owns some happy finches thanks to this book. We didn't realize we could give our finches so many fresh foods. We do everyday now. :)

This publication provides some of the basics and provides the reader with a very simplistic view of how to own and take care of finches. It doesn't give any bad info but at the same time doesn't really provide you with anything you couldn't get off an internet forum. Overall, a nice book but not a text necessary to have on hand.

Husband recently retired and looking for a hobby, chose finches! He's found the book invaluable

Nice book but very thin compared with other Dummies books then again cheap so all in a nice little book

Quite good but doesn't cover everything.

very informative book. original & entertaining. recommended
