Description
The New Zealand Parakeets (Cyanoramphus) have come back from almost virtual extinction to become extremely popular as aviary birds. Unlike other Parrakeets, they do not chew the wood in the aviary or the nest boxes or perches. Moreover, generally, they will live in harmony with other species.
This book traces their history and records the recommencement of breeding in the UK by E.J. Boosey. It also covers breeding accommodations, feeding, and many other aspects. There are also colored plates to show the attractiveness of these fascinating birds, which behave in an extraordinarily friendly way in the aviary.
