I like being able to see what colours and different things that budgies do. I used to have a really good one on cats and i was looking for something similar on budgies. Different pozzies, colours etc Lil Miss Link to comment

My Dad got them for me when I started expressing intrest in breeding and having more then one Budgie. I like them as they are very simple so you don't have to worry about not knowing the lingo etc... but do give you a great amount of detail and lots of pictures. One of them has a Borders stickers on the back. The Proper Care of Budgies - Dennis Kelsey-Wood ISBN 0-86622-192-1 and Budgerigars By Georg A Radtke - ISBN 0-87666-984-4 Link to comment

I don't know if thats still seen as a good healthy practice.. Gerald Binks was saying that with his first Aviary/Breeding Room his local council wanted it built to a standard of fireproofing and he used asbestos sheeting on the walls of his breeding room and inside flights. The biggest concern he had was covering all the joins so the birds couldn't eat it. Link to comment
