All About Parrotlets
 After more than twelve years of breeding
parrotlets and four years since we wrote The
Parrotlet Handbook, we are pleased to annouce the publication of All
About Parrotlets. This book contains the most up-to-date information on
parrotlets available. Although covering the basics of feeding, handling, breeding and
caging, there is more information on behavior, disease identification, training and
breeding. Complete with black and white pictures, this volume also includes information on
showing, grooming demonstrations and breeding color mutations.
