5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource book,
By Barb C. (St. Louis, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Australian Parakeet Handbook, The New (New Pet Handbooks) (Paperback)
Dr. Vriends is one of the formost authorities on birds, and this book is an excellent example of his knowledge in unusual species. It covers all Australian parakeets that are usually kept, and is currently the most comprehensive guide to these interesting beauties. Highly recommend this book for all who own or are considering owning Australian broad and long tailed parakeets.

The New Australian Parakeet Handbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Australian Parakeet Handbook, The New (New Pet Handbooks) (Paperback)
This was one of the very few books that covered to any degree the rare species of bird that I recently purchased. I have also seen this title in a highly respected local bird farm library. Highly recommended for not extensive information on each breed, but short summaries on about every breed of Australian parakeet you need to know about.

This review is from: Australian Parakeet Handbook, The New (New Pet Handbooks) (Paperback)
I recently got my first Red Rump parakeet. Ordered this book to get good basic information on care and such. Felt it was a good basis all around book for all Australian parakeets. Went into many types of the Australian keets.
