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 G ENETICS
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 mutations..."
