Better known in America as the parakeet, the budgerigar is one of the most popular birds kept as a pet. This title, along with all books in the comprehensive and popular B.E.S. Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series, provides advice on feeding, health care, housing, and all other important aspects of responsible pet ownership. Each title in the series is individually written from first page to last by a pet trainer, veterinarian, or other pet-care specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.
We have had 5 birds over the past 9 years, and I agree with most of the facts and advice in this book. (like we were down to one bird when I borrowed this book and he had a mirror for company and was very content. of course, while reading this book, we acquired 2 more budgies, so now we have 3 again - lol) Very good read for kids and adults.
