Editorial ReviewsProduct Description Better known in America as the parakeet, the budgerigar is one of the most popular birds kept as a pet. Here's sound advice on caging, feeding, health care, and much more. Barron's extensive line of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals presents information for non-specialist animal owners and prospective owners, with facts about each animal's origins and traits, as well as advice on purchasing, housing, feeding, health care, and much more. Each book is individually written by a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. Titles in this series cover every popular breed of dog and cat, freshwater and marine fish, many bird varieties, and virtually all other animals that are kept as pets. All books are filled with handsome color photos and instructive line illustrations. Similar Products
Customer ReviewsChristean Said: Very good ( Jun. 23rd 2010 ) This is a very good little book, packed with useful information about parakeets. I thought its small size might mean a limited scope, but it is thorough and comprehensive, well worth the price. mathew Said: Good book for explaining budgie behavior ( Feb. 3rd 2009 ) While it's a fairly slim volume, and not particularly detailed about the mundane aspects of keeping a budgie, I'd rate this book highly. Why? Because it takes a modern approach which emphasizes the bird's needs and wants over the human's. In particular, the book stresses the importance of gaining the bird's trust, and describes how to go about doing so. It talks about why it's better to have two budgies than a single one. It also stresses the importance of allowing the bird to fly freely in the home for at least. So it may not be the only budgie book you need, but it should certainly be on your list. Eva Bogard Said: excellent book ( Oct. 13th 2007 ) I am building a parakeet library in preparation of buying a budgie for my 5 and 7 year olds. This book is visually appealing and easy to read. Nice, shiny pages with up-to-date, beautiful photographs with excellent information and details. Not just the usual chapter-by-chapter book. It has special pages with colored sections and various formating making this a fun book to read. Dianne Foster Said: Budgies and Parakeets.... ( Jan. 1st 2005 ) As far as I am concerned, when it comes to books on pet birds, Barron's is the best. BUDGERIGARS by Immanuel Birmelin (translated by Matthew Vriends) falls into this category, although it is somewhat condensed compared with other books on the market. Birmelin covers all the important issues, such as caging, food, and other aspects of care. My favorite section is about "playing" with your pet Budgie. Budgies are intelligent little parrots and you can have hours of fun if you choose to by providing them with sources of amusement. Birmelin lists `The 10 Most Popular Games' you can play with your Budgie and "How-To: Fun and Games." Did you know you could play card games with Budgies? Although we never want to think about the possibility, sometimes your Budgie gets sick. Birmelin includes a section "If Your Bird Gets Sick" that gives you some ideas of what you can do besides get upset. In this section he includes a `Checklist - Preventing Illness' which is helpful especially if this is your first bird. Keeping his cage clean is a good thing to do, and spending time with him every day will keep him happy. A happy Budgie is a healthy Budgie.
