This book is excellent for children,or those of us just getting our first "keet".The information is concise and easily understood.The book is set up to cover a touch of just about everything from where did they originate to handfeeding babies.The color photos are exquisite! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a budgie.It would also make a nice gift accompaniment if someone would like to give someone a budgie as a gift!

This review is from: The New Parakeet Handbook: Everything About the Purchase, Diet, Diseases, and Behavior of Parakeets : With a Special Chapter on Raising Parakeets (New Pet Handbooks) (Paperback)

This book is an exallent source of information on the raising, caring or breedind of budgies. It includes diagnosis and treatment charts for illnesses and injuries. This book also includes what and what not to feed the budgie, home grown foods and housing requirments. It even has a section for breeding, taming and the behavior of Parakeets. In my opion this book is a MUST for ALL parakeet owners. Wheither the first time novice, or a serious breeder. Use it as a guide to care for your bird or as a referance guide for diagnosing and treatment of any budgie problems. The book has lots of photos, drawings, and charts. I love this book and use it all the time for my budgie Joe. This is one awsome budgie book!

REVIEW: Excellent! One of the best and most comprehensive budgie books around. This is a MUST HAVE for all parakeet owners! As a budgie owner and breeder, I have referred to it often. Nice pics and diagrams. Includes a fantastic section (25 pages!) on breeding. Plus an informative chapter on Health Care and Diseases. Subjects also covered include Diet, Purchasing and Housing, and Behavior, among others. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
