Presented in three parts, the author takes the reader through an introduction to understanding the basic principals of mutations and colour genetics in the first two parts. The information has been supported throughout with a plethora of colour photography. Part three is for the adventurous, being the technical manifest of genetics in parrots. Over 80 species of parrot are discussed with numerous examples of breeding outcomes to assist the breeder in understanding how various mutations can be bred and developed.
