5.0 out of 5 stars Things you want to know about breeding......, January 1, 2005

This review is from: Proper Care of Budgerigars (Hardcover)

The PROPER CARE OF BUDGIES is a thick (250+pp), hardcover book that covers all the basics of pet care and a good deal about breeding parakeets or Budgerigars. In a section on cages and aviaries, Author Dennis Kelsey Wood has included many designs for outdoor aviaries and nest boxes, as well as commercial cages. He covers breeding considerations and genetics in another section. This is not the best book to give your child for reading about his new pet Budgie, although it does include numerous photographs of featherless baby chicks that may be of interest to the curious child.

Most of the photographs are interesting and most of the text reflects good common sense. For example, how many folks need to be told to "make sure your cage is large enough to accommodate your Budgies favorite toys"? On the other hand, most of us will never "show" our Budgies at an exhibition either. Two short chapters in the back of the book "The Pet Budgerigar" and "Maintaining Health" cover what most of us want to know. If your keeping Budgies as pets, you will do better to buy The Owner's Guide to THE BUDGIE, by Julie Rach.
