Breeding African Greys made easy!

Ms Conzalez' book, Breeding Exotic Birds, is an absolute must for anyone keen on breeding these wonderful creatures. She is most knowledgeable on the subject and although concise, this book provides sufficient information to the beginner, not only to breed successfully, but also to control various common diseases, hand rearing babies, etc. Thanks to Ms Conzalez (and the African climate), we have never lost any babies - her book has become our "practice manual". I would highly recommend this book to anyone, even if only for a casual read.

Excellent Information for the Beginner

This is a must book for the beginning Avian breeder. The information provided in this book is a must.

Practical advice that can't be found ANYWHERE!

I have read tons of books about breeding and caring for baby birds. As I was learning to breed and care for these little beings, I was overwhelmed at how many mistakes it was possible to make. Including overstretching the crop, sour crop and on and on. Ms. Gonzalez provides fixes for those items and more .. WITHOUT having to run to the vet for every little thing you have done wrong! She also provides breeding suggestions, incubation charts, and approximate feeding schedules from day 1 to weaning. This is the best book I have found which encompasses the all around needed advice to breed and hand-raise baby birds.
