Best Beginner's Book on Finches

Pay no attention to the bad review below, that is the viewpoint of someone prejdice to the carduelan finches which is basically for advanced finch hobbiests, breeders, and aviculturists. That review shows little interest in being helpful to new or prospective finch owners. Christa Koepff has written without a doubt, THE most helpful book on finch care for begginers. Easy to read, reference, and understand. I own and moderate FinchFriends, one of the best and most popular Finch groups on Yahoo! I very highly recommend this book to all my members.

Good Finch Book

This is a very good book, expecially for beginners. Lots of good basic information on the care an breeding of finches. Good species descriptions. However, my copy had many blank pages, and I did not get to read about some species, such as the Zebra Finch.

A wonderful finch book.

I love this book! I found this book to be extremely helpful. I reccomend this book to finch lovers everywhere!

The best and most complete finch reference I've found.

Christa Koepff's detailed treatment of finches is by far the best that I have come across. I repeatedly refer to all of the sections of this book for in-depth treatment of species and all of the other aspects of finch care. This is the one must-have reference for any finch fancier, beginner to expert.

As a Finch Fancier I love this book!

I find myself contantly using Christa Koepff's text as a favorite reference on various finch species. It is packed with beautiful color photos and specific information on 60 species. The chapters on general care and husbandry are helpful and well illustrated. I have found it ten times the value of it's modest price.
