 | The Colored Atlas of Lovebirds: Agapornis : More Than a Hobby, a Passion! by Alessandro D'Angieri
Buy used from: $6.77 Good basic book on lovebird mutations and genetics, despite the occasionaly poor photo or naming error. I also recommend Dr. Terry Martin's Guide to Colour Mutations and Genetics in Parrots (below).

|
 | 3 Tiers Stand for 30"x18"x18" Aviary Cage
