“ The only comprehensive hook on Australian Budgerigars ”


With beautiful plates in natural colours


BUDGERIGARS IN BUSH AND AVIARY


By Neville Cayley, F.R.Z.S., author of What Bird is That ? With foreword

by W. J. Dakin, D.Sc., F.L.S., F.Z.S., Professor of Zoology, University

of Sydney, and six beautiful plates (size 6 | by 4 b inches) in natural colours,

and other illustrations. Cloth, 75. 6 d.


In this beautiful book the author-artist does for the Budgerigars what he

has done for the Finches in his book on those beautiful birds.


A wealth of informative matter published and contributed by well-known

European and Australian breeders has been carefully collated. This, together

with Mr. Cayley’s personal experiences, will undoubtedly prove of great value

to the thousands of enthusiasts interested in these beautiful Parrots. Chapters

on the history of the species, its habits in the bush and aviary, housing, feeding,

breeding, and management, colour production and varieties, its training as a

talker and pet , and diseases and their treatment, make it an outstanding book

on the subject. ___
