Covers history of aviculture, caging, taming, & breeding including setting up mixed species aviaries.Tells country of origin, habitat, foods, whether they will sing/talk or both. Also covers how they do in captivity with children and other pets.Very informative for the person trying to decide what pet they want or whether they want to set upbreeding colonies. Something for everyone!

This is one the best books that I have in my possession. It provides anyone with excellent visual pictures of the actual birds and provides general information for each. The information is fairly good but limited to a single page for each bird, but is fairly comprehensive in regard to each species and sub-species. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book for first time about 10 years ago. I think it has a very concise and complete information about the most common pet birds, including several parrot species. There the author give details about breeding, original habitat, maintenance in captivity, behavior features , diet, etc. furthermore the book has a very economic price. The material and the fotos are A1. Now I buy again this book as a gift (a very good gift I think). Definitly I reccomend this book to all the bird lovers.
