    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains a concise and novice-friendly guide to budgerigars and cockatiels, being a practical handbook on how to keep, feed, and breed them. Easy-to-digest and full of great tips, this timeless book is recommended for existing or prospective budgerigar and cockatiel owners, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this volume include: “How to Keep, Feed and Breed Them”, “Aviculture”, “Budgerigars”, “Budgerigar Breeding for Beginners”, “Blue Budgerigars”, “The Cockatiel”, and “The Cockatiel – How to Breed, Tame, and Teach to Talk”. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on aviculture.
