Customer Reviews

A pet lovers review? Yes just that.
Thank you Diane, It's difficult to produce a Canary book which is any different from the last Canary book where the author trundles out the old chestnuts like feed and environment, genetics, history, breeds and variations, and the usual gamut of do's and dont's. You have included these, but you have succeeded in making these wee mites, which are totally reliant on us to make their existance happy, part of your family. It is not an all singing, all dancing instruction book on how to keep a Canary, but it is a pet lovers guide on to how to interact with your canary, and a gentle reminder that your responsibilities don't stop when you decant your wee bird from the carry case to its new home in a cage in your sitting room. It is written with a great deal of thought and humour and, if you are a Canary owner you should buy it; for no other reason than your wee bird will like the picture on the cover.
