The Challenge on Ebay.

 

I have my copy and it is the most comprehensive book on all aspects of the Budgerigar. It covers buying pet birds and training them to the care of the birds. It also covers in depth the requirements of Show Birds.

 

The first edition is still around 2nd hand for $450.00au. I paid $157.00au for my copy new.

I heard that the First edition signed copy was selling for HUGE dollars, Daz. I bought mine on ebay and paid a little under what you paid for yours new. My First edition copy is new and signed also. But I haven't the new edition yet. :D

This is the 2nd edition, As Gerald is in his 70s and this edition has taken 10 years to come out, I don't know if there will be another.
