Aussie Finch Forum

Ok in the mail today was my new book on hand rearing baby birds called .....Hand feeding and Raising Baby Birds by Matthew M. Vriends Ph.D.

OK totally not what I was expecting BETTER It covers all aspects of breeding both aviary and incubator from woe to go .
Lots of references to Finches including Black Throats , Zebs and Plumheads plus more . Lots of pics of finches and parrots in different stages of development , diagrams of the anatomy , aviary design , nest boxes EXCITED this book has everything for anyone breeding birds .

Anyhoo just wanted to share . Ermmmm price maybe $23 plus postage (lost the invoice already ).

Matthew Vriends and his daughter released a book about estrildid finches as well.
Very informative book, more suited to European conditions though (IMO)

Yes your opinion is pretty much spot on Mickp.
The more I read the more I think this man really knows his birds .
