The Budgerigar Standard

The Standard of Perfection and Classification of Colour Varieties

Compiled by The Colour and Standard Committees of The Budgerigar Society of Australasia and the Australian Budgerigar Council on conjunction with The Pied Budgerigar Society of Australasia

Budgerigar Society of Australasia, 1962, black and white illustrative plates, staple-bound paperback

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, some marking and discoloration to covers, previous owners’ inscription on front cover, foxing to introductory pages (see photographs)

“This new Standard contains many departures from the original issued many years ago, in as much as it contains a separate standard for the hen and pied varieties, supplemented by interesting historical notes on the evolution of the various mutations of the budgerigar.
The wonderful illustrations, the like of which we have not had in this country before, were executed for the Standards Committee by the world’s foremost avicultural artists, Mr. R. A. Vowles of England, to whom we owe our sincere tanks.”
