HYBRIDS. Massimo NATALE and Leone Giuliano PIDALA

The second publication from ALCEDO.

This book on hybridisation focuses heavily on non-mutated and mutated finches, but also features numerous exotic-by-exotic hybrids.

As with *IL CARDUELINO*, the quality of the photographs is remarkable.

In this book, one can admire rare and incredible hybrids. We also learn that, from a scientific perspective, hybridisation with canaries helps to confirm the name of a mutation that has occurred naturally in another species. For example, mating an Agate-mutated goldfinch with an Agate canary consistently produces 100 per cent Agate offspring. Both mutations are caused by a sex-linked, recessive factor.

A book for enthusiasts of this speciality.

In Italian.
