This book still simply the best book about Psittacine aviculture ever writen. Fully ilustrated, informative, techinical and with a lot of statistics never found in another book, even nowadays. If you wanna buy the best book about parrot production, buy it now!

Well writen... excellent chapters on aviary construction and design as well as an amazing amout of data on everything from feather growth in a variety of chicks to serum blood values in a number of different species. Some chapter were very short (i.e. 2 pages or less) but those were generally were about topics that are not central to the book.... Great color photo sections as well. I would hope that a 2nd ed. would have a bit more written on quarintine and viral disease as both topics were barley talked about.... overall a great book for those interested in breeding parrots... highly recomended

THE definative text for breeding and rasing large parrots.

This has got to be one of the all time best books on birds!!! I have raised birds from the time I was sixteen and even I learned a few things about birds from this book. What I am saying is this book has information useful to everyone from a know nothing beginner bird care taker to those who like to think of themselves as experts!

Great book! Haven't read the whole thing yet, but couldn't beat the price I got for it, came highly recommended from someone with 25 years of bird-handling experience.

I really like the fact that it has not just opinion on how to raise birds, but real background data on what the authors actually did and the results of their actions. Allows me to really understand and evaluate what was done and draw my own conclusions too.
