    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains a novice-friendly guide to breeding canaries, including information on feeding, rearing, production for profit, diseases and ailments, and more. This volume is recommended for anyone interested in breeding canaries, and it will be of considerable value to those with little previous experience in the practice. The chapters of this volume include: “Canary Breeding”, “Failures in Canary Breeding”, “Hartz Mountain Canaries”, “Fundamental Principles in Canary Breeding”, “Gas Injurious to Canaries”, “Canary Breeding for Profit”, “Food for Canaries”, “Egg Food”, “Inga Seed”, etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned introduction on aviculture.

      THERE are so many reasons why the canary has been so popular throughout the history of aviculture. Its song, colour and lively personality recommend it, but coupled with that also is the birds’ ability to freely breed in captivity. Nevertheless, it s

      LAST week, in my letter “Understanding livefood”, I emphasised the importance of not over-feeding protein. The suggested levels of protein for baby birds vary. Some recommend 40-50 per cent, others 25-30 per cent. This is interesting, as an average-s
