  This introduction to budgerigars is part of a series for young people, encouraging them to become responsible pet owners. The authors examine how these birds live in their natural Australian environment and offer advice on how to keep them, whether in a cage or an aviary. They also discuss the general care, breeding, colour variations and the birds' need for free flight in a closed room everyday. The text explains how this should be managed, after first allowing a bird to become accustomed to being handled and finger tame. Further information is given on teaching the birds to talk and do tricks, which the authors claim, budgerigars enjoy.
