An unusual and rare pamphlet on the care of pet parrots, with interesting ads for bird and reptile supplies as well as a hand-coloured illustration on the cover and another in the contents. We can locate one historical record of this publication, in a list of accessions to the United States Department of Agriculture Library in the same year as publication. It seems an edition was also published in 1952, as a copy is listed in the holdings of the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library on WorldCat. We could find out little about the author, but based on the contents he seems to have been a parrot breeder and perhaps dealer.

26-page wire-stitched pamphlet; hand-coloured plate, 3 leaves of ads, contents a little toned and creased; original grey wrappers printed in black with hand-coloured parrot illustration to the upper wrapper, ownership signature to the upper wrapper, wrappers rubbed, toned, and creased with closed splits at the head and tail, very good condition.
