Foreign bird site Internet spreads rapidly, and site about a lot of birds exists there currently. Most of site of a Japanese bird are love bird pride. For it, site of a foreign bird is an exhibition of breeding and breeding information and a place of information exchange. In addition, it is impressive that an establishment person and the visitor demand information about bird by sincere posture. I recommend that foreign site is visited in addition to Japanese site if there is it in environment to connect with Internet. It can be got the hint that you do not seem to hit on from a viewpoint of a Japanese. ParrotParrot (http://www.parrotparrot.com/) Site of love bird by Ms.Vera Appleyard of American Love bird is a very popular species in the world. There is a lot of splendid site in the world. This site "ParrotParrot" is famous for detailed excellent contents in those. Because it is contents to cover from budgerigar to parrot, finch, canary, it is supported without relation in bird species by most of bird keeper. I knew existence of this site from the past. Actually, I changed recognition of this site because member of the meeting of the finch which I head said this site. Site supported by a lot of bird keepers is really valuable. I think that "Avian Health" is the most popular in this site. Basic keep method and attention etc..are introduced in detail here. It is the contents which it does not divide with love bird, and is useful for most birds species. It does not seem to be only Japan that it is difficult to find the vet which can check bird. There is page of introduction of vet in America and Canada mainly. Each recommendation sentence will become reference when we search for vet. It will be "Recipes" that is the most interesting in these contents. It is done in Europe so that it is extremely natural to give a hand-made feed (just like cooking) to bird. Of course they make it for birds. The recipe is thought up very much, and it is thought. They receive advice of vet and make it. We are about to hardly see such a recipe in Japan. Some these are introduced. Because you are easy to read, and it is written, please challenge it. It is the thing which we wants to eat when we reads recipe even if it does not taste. Because materials of introduced recipe are the things which are sold commonly in Japan, so it is easy to try it. Most of "bird snack" marketed adding sugar and salt in order to let adhering to advance. Recipe introduced here think about health of bird in priority. So without worry, there is recipe changing distribution of materials every species. Explanation of a kind of a love bird, breeding and method of hand-feeding are explained finely in major "Lovebirds" of this site. She uses a beautiful picture richly and it is introduced from the kind that we are about to take fine to an unusual different color. We see it and are pleasant. Ms.Vera feels fear of it about hybrid of Peachfaced lovebird and Masked lovebird in breeding. Hybrid has defect of the generative function. Her opinion that it is "pollution of the pure gene pool" to make these being hybrid not to know that Peachfaced lovebird and Masked lovebird are another kind. A lot of people sympathizing with that. And do not give it up even if pair of Peachfaced lovebird and a Masked lovebird has been good. Ms.Vera says that revision of pair is possible.

Wheatgrass introduced here resembles on leaf of oats acknowledged as grass for pet in Japan. That it is a very useful plant is introduced. Wheatgrass is the grass which we are not about to see so yet in Japan. The kind is 150. The one part seems to fix as denizen in Japan. You can obtain it if you search for health food shops in Japan because it is processed into juices as health food. "The Lovebird Handbook (Barron's Pet Handbooks)" which she wrote and books selected carefully are introduced in "Bird Bookstore". It is classed every purpose finely, and it is considered to be easy to see. It is each linked to AMAZOM.COM (a bookstore on Internet). You can buy it without losing. We can buy most of these books in Japanese AMAZON." Articles & Research" is splendid information. Even if we stay in Japan, acquisition method and check list of bird will be the things which we can use enough. It is explained mega bacteria and chlamydia in detail at "Reference Library" which there is in these . Because it links from each item to a professional page written more in detail, you can read it without what you hesitate about, and push it forward. She accepts a question about these at "DISCUSSION FORUM" in site. Please inflect effectively. They will invite it kindly warmly if we have good faith even if we have poor English. Article more than 50 are carried from budgerigar to parrot, Australian finch, canary elsewhere. Because all is splendid contents, I read it, and it is studied pleasantly. I know the reason why the friend who is lover of finch recommended this site to. A lot of contents such as picture, animation etc... exist other than these. It is considerably large-scale, the one one is written in detail. As for reading all, it takes time, but can read it pleasantly because pictures are used a lot. Ms.Vera Appleyard is very famous as a writer of keeping book "The Lovebird Handbook (Barron's Pet Handbooks)" of the love bird which mentioned above. The keep method which she proposes consists of a scientific viewpoint. Because she is a talented woman having BA of Columbia University and MFA of New York university, you may understand that this. She is a member of famous African Love Bird Society. The tender site design which seems to be a lady and substantial contents do not limit type of visitor. This is one of her charm. I thank Ms.Vera Appleyard that consented to introducing this site though she is busy and wish that a lot of bird keepers visit this site.
