How to Live with a Parakeet
Written by: B.A. Benson Illustrated by: Paul Fanning
This book, published in 1959, is an amusing account of a scriptwriter and his pet parakeets. It offers funny anecdotes as well as tips (some outdated) on the care of budgies. For example, don’t let your budgie fly around loose when having a cocktail party.
Cooper’s favorite part of the book was when Buster, who was thought to be a male, turns out to be a female.
Those pages look delicious!
There was nothing in the book about keeping your parakeet away from pasta.
Tell me you have seen the pic of the bird getting into a chocolate fountain.
Yes. I’ve read that that’s a scene from an Adam Sandler movie (Jack and Jill). Which is good, because chocolate is toxic for birds.
