Book has been printed recently but the photos are from the 80’s /90’s and quite possibly the text too, so the information could be out of date. I wouldn’t recommend it.

This book was full of clear and easily understandable information. A wide range of species covered with beautiful clear illustrations. Lots of good information on all aspects of keeping and breeding cage and aviary birds.
