About This Book

A practical guide outlines the origin and varieties of domesticated canaries and gives detailed advice on housing, cage maintenance, indoor and outdoor aviaries, feeding, bathing, molt management, and color feeding. It addresses breeding practices, methods for determining sex and age, parasite control, care of feet and bill, and treatments for common injuries and illnesses, including broken limbs, feather loss, and respiratory and intestinal troubles. Practical recommendations and a short bibliography provide a concise reference for owners and fanciers seeking reliable husbandry and basic veterinary guidance.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

For the benefit of those who may wish further information on the care of canaries a short list of standard works on the subject is appended. (None of these is available for free distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture.)[4]
