Aruma Pakshikal Alamkaarathinum Aadaayathinum [paperback] Dr. D. Shine Kumar

In Kerala, the care and rearing of ornamental and pet birds is a growing enterprise. Some people keep them out of curiosity, while others pursue it as a source of income by running it as a livelihood venture. However, the majority of them are unable to obtain accurate and scientific knowledge about birds. Nor is there a comprehensive book on this subject available in Malayalam. Now, the book “Beautiful Birds for Ornament and Income”, published by Manorama, will serve as a valuable guide not only for such people but also for all bird lovers. Like the previously published “Dogs – Loving Companions”, this book too is attractive, richly illustrated in color, and contains more pages. Written by Dr. D. Shine Kumar, who also authored the earlier book, this volume introduces detailed information on the care, breeding, disease prevention, and treatment of more than 250 ornamental birds and over 100 pet birds, supported with color photographs. From small-scale pet bird ventures to large farm models, everything can be learned through this book. For those interested in buying, rearing, and turning it into a profitable business, this will remain a complete guide worth keeping forever.
