The Chinese Painted Quail, Button Quail: Their Breeding and Care
by Leland B. Hayes
Category: Quail culture

This is the only book on this subject in the world. The popularity of Chinese Painted Quail comes from their tiny size (they are the smallest quail in the world) & vibrancy of color. This book about these popular little quail will be of immense practical value to beginning & long-time aviculturalists alike, because Dr. Hayes spells out in well-documented form what they are, how to breed them & how to keep them healthy--just as important, he tells his readers how to enjoy their birds. Dr. Hayes gives personal illustrations from his forty-plus years of avicultural experience. The book is well illustrated with four-color plates showing the color mutations of this bird. It is written in easy-to-understand language which makes it a reading pleasure & will be used continuously as a resource. The 161 pages are filled with "practical hints." Retail: $9.95 plus $3.00 s/h. Discounts to retail outlets. Order from Dr. Leland B. Hayes, P.O. Box 1682, Valley Center, CA 92082, Tel. (760) 749-6829, FAX: (760) 749-6829.
