Does anybody know of some good books on budgies that have a lot of pictures. 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

These are the two that I have. 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.

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.

If asbestos causes us harm imagine what it can do to a little budgie whose boby size is alot smaller then us and they have a higher sense to smells so all those asbestos dust particles surely couldn't be good for them

here is a couple good books to read and picture
