Provides detailed histories of each breed, in many cases including the names of the breeders and where they lived. Examines the special management and selective breeding requirements needed for certain breeds, even if they are not going to be entered into shows. Includes helpful descriptions of the breeds. Beautifully illustrated in full colour with over 180 photographs of prize-winning birds and nearly ninety reproductions of exquisite old prints of artist's drawings.
