Simon & Schuster's Guide to Pet Birds

Rating:
Summary: Great reference to identify common & less known pet birds
Review: Covers history of aviculture, caging, taming, & breeding including setting up mixed species aviaries.Tells country of origin, habitat, foods, whether they will sing/talk or both. Also covers how they do in captivity with children and other pets.Very informative for the person trying to decide what pet they want or whether they want to set upbreeding colonies. Something for everyone!

Rating:
Summary: A MUST HAVE!!! for any aviary library
Review: This is one the best books that I have in my possession. It provides anyone with excellent visual pictures of the actual birds and provides general information for each. The information is fairly good but limited to a single page for each bird, but is fairly comprehensive in regard to each species and sub-species. I highly recommend this book.
