zebra finch mutation books

[whitecharmer]

Hi, does anyone know of a book that is focused mostly on zebra finch mutations?
Most books i've found explain the genetics but with only a little info on the colours and they seem to only list the most common mutations.

your birds are beautiful. I just bought a BB that is identical to yours.

The third link has been my main source of info since i got my first zebras. It's a fantastic site with so much info. I think the first two links are good too with lots of pics.
Thankyou both for your help

These are all great sites.
I finally found a picture of what one of the chicks looks like at finchniche. If they haven't molted yet will the colors change much?
He looks a lot like the Silver Isabel Zebra Finch but he has dark white cheek patches. The parents are grays I think. They look like the average zebras. So many colors it's confusing.
