Excellent budgie reading :) March 15, 2008
Budgerigars (typically called parakeets in the US) are amazing, intelligent, playful creatures. They can be so much more than pretty things in a cage. With patience, persistance and love they can learn to mimic human words (and sometimes use them in context), perform tricks and can become a delightful part of any household.
This book is geared specifically to the potential or new pet owner and advocates providing the best possible care for your budgie: a sizeable cage, a varied diet (including fresh produce, grains and legumes and plenty of fresh water) and exercise time outside of the cage.
I've read a few books on budgies over the years but this book is quite possibly my favorite on this species. I highly recommend it.

I am building a parakeet library in preparation of buying a budgie for my 5 and 7 year olds. This book is visually appealing and easy to read. Nice, shiny pages with up-to-date, beautiful photographs with excellent information and details. Not just the usual chapter-by-chapter book. It has special pages with colored sections and various formating making this a fun book to read.
Budgies and Parakeets.... January 1, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
As far as I am concerned, when it comes to books on pet birds, Barron's is the best. BUDGERIGARS by Immanuel Birmelin (translated by Matthew Vriends) falls into this category, although it is somewhat condensed compared with other books on the market. Birmelin covers all the important issues, such as caging, food, and other aspects of care.
My favorite section is about "playing" with your pet Budgie. Budgies are intelligent little parrots and you can have hours of fun if you choose to by providing them with sources of amusement. Birmelin lists `The 10 Most Popular Games' you can play with your Budgie and "How-To: Fun and Games." Did you know you could play card games with Budgies?
Although we never want to think about the possibility, sometimes your Budgie gets sick. Birmelin includes a section "If Your Bird Gets Sick" that gives you some ideas of what you can do besides get upset. In this section he includes a `Checklist - Preventing Illness' which is helpful especially if this is your first bird. Keeping his cage clean is a good thing to do, and spending time with him every day will keep him happy. A happy Budgie is a healthy Budgie.
