Parrots, Cockatoos & Macaws

Category : Cockatoos

Pages : 204
Book Description
"Mr. Boosey has bred very large numbers of rare parrakeets as well as numerous parrots and cockatoos, and it is this that has given him his unique insight into their characters and their requirements in captivity. Many pet parrots are, of course, excellently kept, but the treatment of some leave much to be desires and Mr. Boosey welcomed the oportunity to write this book as he believes that such mismanagement is chiefly due to ignorance. Besides chapters on the various members of the parrot family, the book also includes chapters on teaching a parrot to talk, common illnesses among parrots and parrot-keeping in the past." --Dust jacket.
