I have this book. It is a great one. It list many different spieces and loads of info about them.

I got mine at Pet Smart, but I have also seen them on Amazon.

I am going to stop at PetSmart and take a look at it, always looking for good books on pet care.

Bought that book when I bought my birds. It is good, but to be honest it is less extensive than the info attached to this site in the info center. The perks are the different sections about the various species, but as far as health and feeding/housing the info center here is better (and free.)

Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
