My Parakeet

These small members of the parrot family are shown in photos that display several different colours available to prospective owners. Extensive advice instructs owners on caging, feeding, health care, keeping birds in pairs, breeding, and more. This heavily illustrated book is filled with helpful checklists and fascinating sidebars. All attractive titles in Barron’s My Pet series of pet care books emphasise the special relationships that normally develop between owners and pets of various species. The text is authoritative and clearly written, accessible to older children as well as adults. Attractive colour photos of pets and their owners appear on most pages, as well as on each book’s handsomely designed front and back cover flaps.
