This vintage book contains a concise guide to mule-breeding canaries and
finches, with a specific focus on breeding for appearance and song. This
volume contains all the information an existing or prospective breeder
might need to know on the subject, and it would make for a useful
addition to collections of aviculture literature. The chapters of this
book include: "Uncertainties of Mule Breeding", "Good Mules", "Influence
of Parents on the Progeny", "Goldfinch and Canary Mules", "Sib-Bred
Birds", "Cheverell and Pea-throat Goldfinches", "Canaries for
Mule-Breeding", "Double-Yellows", "Double-Buffs", 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 new introduction on aviculture.
