Purchased these books the other days at a shop for $1 ea thought I did ok
Rick Jordan Parrot Incubation Procedures $1 (new condition)
Ringnecked Parakeets and their Mutations (Bastiaan) $1 (new condition)
And an ABK guide to book $1
The ASA lists Parrot Incubation Procedures for $80. I don’t think the Bastiaan book was cheap either
The only problem is that I don’t keep Ringnecks.

You did really well, great finds.
So, when do you get your Ringnecks?

You have the book, might as well get the birds.

Plenty of Ringneck lovers out there . Whack it on ebay , you might make a tidy profit.

The Bastiaan book alone will pay for a couple of pair of dearer finches

I might consider it If I had the space and I could get a pair for the right price. There are so many nice looking mutations available now, however from what I can see of it they are a hard sell even for the Violets and for me the Violets are still overpriced.
I don't want to breeding birds where I might have to consider culling a lot of young birds like breeders did with the blues, yellows, greens, etc, because they were so difficult to sell.
