This review is from: Professionals Book Lovebirds (Hardcover)
THE PROFESSIONAL’ S BOOK OF LOVEBIRDS by John Coborn covers their natural history, cages and aviaries, nutrition-health and hygiene-breeding Lovebirds and other topics. Coburn provides suggestions for aviaries and cages and recommends aviaries because Lovebirds are ornamental birds, not necessarily good companion animals (although I have a very loveable Peach-faced (Agaponis roseicollis) Lovebird hand raised from a young chick).
Coburn’s book includes over 180 color photographs and large type, so it is certainly visually appealing and relatively easy to read, although perhaps a bit dated (the suggested reading section won’t include anything issued after 1991). For a surfeit of information about genetics and typology, Dr. D’Angieri’s ATLAS on Lovebirds can’t be beat, but for more comprehensive albeit easier to access and handle smaller book, you may want to buy Anne Appleyard’s THE LOVEBIRD HANDBOOK published in 2001.

It is a book with very potential, in spite of presenting some appearances. It presents images of a lot of quality and quite beautiful. It could go beyond, and to show more new mutations, as the ones that exists here in Portugal.
