## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful addition to my library on the care and breeding of canaries.  Tons of important tips!
*by S***E on October 16, 2015*

Kudos to Mary Miley-Russell for her EXCELLENT work!!! I inhaled this book! It was so easy to read because her style of writing is smooth and she explains things well. The book is comprehensive and be will a good addition to the library of a novice (like me in my first year of canary breeding) yet it still has information that a more experienced breeder would value. The author focuses on the American SInger and included is a lot about the song of this bird and others. I am raising Fifes, but I still found the material in this book to be broad as to cover all topics and it was just full of tips and tricks that would enhance the keeping of canaries for anyone. The book is 135 pages and it measures 8.25 inches x 11 inches. I only wish this book was available in a hard back as my paper copy will not hold up over time as I am referring the it so much. This is a great book, I am very pleased to have it and will use it for continued reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Canary Owner Should Have This Book.
*by S***E on February 6, 2011*

I have owned and bred canaries for personal stock for many years. Long before this book came out. One of the most important things a canary owner needs is a good book to guide them. This is the book. I am now on my second copy and thinking about getting another so I will never be without when it goes out of print. This is how reliant I am on this book! It has answered every question I have ever had. Before I would have to reference several books to get the answers I needed. Not the case with this book so now it's the only book I go to. I won't go chapter by chapter with you because you can look them up here on Amazon. I will tell you some of the most important ones to me. Setting up a medicine chest for your bird. You don't want to wait until your bird is ill before getting the items you need. Birds go down fast and time is not a luxury you have. Page 127 gets you started on the items you will need. This book goes over everything from cages, feed, how to buy a bird, the do's and don't, breeding and even though you may never plan on breeding please read this section. It is full of info that will be helpful to you in just owning and caring for you bird. This book also covers the health of your bird and illnesses. The Practical Canary Handbook covers everything as far as I'm concerned. Please take a moment and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ask the Avian Veterinarians
*by T***Y on March 25, 2015*

This is an excellent book for novice canary owners or those who aspire to become breeders. It is clearly a compilation of many years of experience and research by the author who has done a good writing job. My only concern is that some of the information, especially on foods, is seriously outdated. The pet bird world (breeders and veterinarians) has uniformly transformed itself to the use of pelleted food rather than seeds but this book still discusses seeds at length, not pellets. Avian Veterinarians all recommend pelleted foods, and especially favor the ones developed over a decade ago by Avian Veterinarian Dr. Greg Harrison, an authority and author in avian medicine since the 1980s.. I am hoping a revised edition of Ms. Miley-Russell's book is in the works.
