General chapters describe housing, feeding, breeding and general management and health and diseases. Individual chapters on all species in the Neophema and Psephotus grass parrot genus – the Turquoisine, Scarlet-chested, Elegant, Blue-winged, Rock, Bourke's, Mulga, Hooded, Red-rumped and Golden-shouldered Parrots and their mutations.
Toby Martin was born into a family of bird breeders in Sydney. He specialised in the breeding of Neophema and Psephotus Grass parrots and kept many of the mutations available today and of course the colours that will combine to produce the mutations of the future.
