ORIGINAL
BOOK REVIEW
by
Dr. Rainer R. Erhardt
"Well, there is help on the
horizon and anyone seriously
interested in color genetics
should take a look at Linda
Rubin's book:
COCKATIEL GENETICS
MADE EASY!
Though this book is primarily
directed to breeders of cockatiel
mutations, there is enough
information in this little volume
to teach anyone the secrets of
dealing with recessive,
sex-linked, and dominant
utations..."ACBM, Vol. 65, No.12
