This vintage book contains a complete handbook on keeping parakeets, being a practical guide to the selection, care, and breeding of these wonderful birds. Including a wealth of invaluable information and useful tips, this volume would be of considerable utility to both existing and prospective parakeet keepers. The chapters of this book include: "How the Parakeet Came to the United States", "How to Choose your Bird", "How to Select a Cage", "How to Feed you Bird and Care for the Cage", "Training Your Bird", "Entertaining our Pet Parakeet", "How the Parakeet Keeps Itself Clean", etcetera.
