Their small size and manageable demands make parakeets the ideal pets for many people. Fascinating to watch, parakeets are delicate, beautiful, and have distinctive personalities. With lists, charts, and step-by-step instructions, this book covers everything from basic care and feeding to training and handling. Packed with information on potential dangers, common health problems, keeping the cage safe and stimulating, out-of-cage play time, and more, this book helps owners enjoy their parakeets for years. Julie Rach Mancini (Indianola, IA) was the editor of "Bird Talk" magazine for several years. Her first bird was a parakeet named Charlie and she has been a fan of these charming pets ever since.  
 
Biografi  
Birds have been an important part of Julie Rach Mancini's life ever since her father built a window shelf to feed pigeons as mealtime entertainment for her when she was a toddler. Her parents got her first bird, a parakeet named Charlie, when she was six, and she kept a special African grey parrot named Sindbad for more than ten years. Professionally, her interest in birds began to combine with her love of writing when the editors of Pet Health News asked her to write about bird health in 1988. She assisted in the preparation of the first issue of Birds USA, a successful annual publication aimed at the first--time pet bird owner, and became managing editor, then editor, of Bird Talk in 1992. Julie has been a freelance writer since 1997, with pets as her primary focus.
