The canary is without question the most common of all caged birds. It is known and recognised by all, even by young children. The chief object of this book is to inform the novice as to the best method of selecting a bird, and to supply them with information on the different breeds and their varieties. It also provides information on the manner of feeding and tending the bird when they have it. The chapters of this book include: 'Origin and Colour Varieties', 'The Norwich', 'The Yorkshire', 'The Lizard', 'The Border Fancy and London Fancy', 'Other Breeds', 'Cages and Fittings', 'Breeding', 'Moulting', 'Hints to Exhibitors', 'Diseases of Canaries', and 'Some Don'ts for Canary-keepers'. We are proud to republish this antique book now complete with a new introduction to aviculture.
