Their Management, Care and Breeding
The popularity of Australia's white cockatoos is evidenced by the frequency with which you encounter them in Australia's backyards as pets. However, their proper care, both as pets and in aviculture, has long been neglected. This book aims to remedy this situation.Australia's white cockatoos have fascinated the world over for over 200 years, and their popularity is evidenced by the frequency with which you encounter them in Australia's backyards as pets.
