Los canarios de color tienen como principal atractivo los tonos de sus plumas, que pueden ir del amarillo al rojo, del blanco al marmol, del bruno al verde...¡unos 300 colores para elegir! En este libro tambien se citan las razas mas bellas e interesantes, como elegir los mejores ejemplares, la reproduccion y el cuidado de las crias, las jaulas, la alimentacion, las enfermedades, las exposiciones... En esta obra, todos los aficionados a estas aves encontraran la informacion necesaria para elegir, criar y mantener el canario mas adecuado a sus gusto y expectativas.

Cuando se trata de determinar la dieta más adecuada para un animal en cautividad, se suele afirmar que hay tantas dietas correctas como propietarios de animales. Ello es tanto más cierto cuando nos referimos a las dietas para aves, procedentes de los mas dispares habitats, desde el domestico gorrion al exotico kiwi.En la presente obra se aborda el problema desde una perspectiva cientifica, basada en los trabajos realizados por expertos en nutricion animal y que derivan de las practicas que se llevan a cabo en algunos zoologicos de los Estados Unidos, que tienen encomendada la mision de conserar en el mejor estado la vida de los animales que tienen a su cargo.Las aves se han agrupado en los ordenes taxonomicos propios de la zoologia, describiendo dietas afines por familias, por grupos de especies y cuando la especificidad del caso lo ha requerido, se ha llegado a describir dietas individualizadas por especies en particular.Las necesidades alimenticias de las aves no son siempre las mismas, sino que varian en funcion de su edad o evolucion sexual. Ello ha obligado a describir dietas para los polluelos de determinadas especies y tambien las que son mas convenientes si se pretende estimular la reproduccion o ayudar a la crianza.Algunas de las dietas contienen productos de dificil obtencion para el aficionado medio, por lo que en los apendices que complementan la obra, se describe la composicion de los productos comerciales, no siempre a nuestra disposicion en el mercado nacional, e incluso, dando un paso mas, nos enseña como obtener alimentos vivos cuando ello es posible (mosca de la fruta, gusano de la harina, etc.).
