Review:
Baffled by budgies? Perplexed by parrotlets? If you are thinking of keeping a bird as a pet, this book is for you. Author David Alderton guides you through the process of handling, feeding, and caring for your bird. Birds can be wonderful pets, but they are not really low-maintenance, and a sound understanding of their needs is vital to keeping your parakeet healthy. Alderton offers advice on bathing, breeding, and housing birds and presents specific information on the care and feeding of more than 80 varieties of feathered friends, ranging from the tiny melba finch to the formidable green-winged macaw.
