I bought this book, and it's sister book Doves, the day after I was given an orphan day-old pigeon chick to raise way back in 1997. Normaly I deal with domestic birds (bantams, budgies, ect.) so when my Pidgie came to me, I knew the basics, but I also knew I didn't know enough about pigeons to raise him on my own. These 2 books were all I needed, they provide all the info needed to raise happy healthy pigeond and doves from chick to adult. I am so glad these 2 German classics had been show more translated and reprinted into English, I don't know what I would have done without them.

Useful information, covering a wide variety of species. However, some types or brands of recommended food may not be available everywhere.

Very informative to those who love birds and want to spy theme at the feeders and keep them coming around yearly.
