Internally, there are some ink inscriptions on the early pages, along with light, sporadic foxing throughout, but there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are neat and complete, with the illustrations still vibrant.

Hardcover. First Edition. A portfolio containing the title page and 79 lovely color xylographic plates (6-3/4" x 10") with hand-coloring, some heightened with gum arabic, of macaws, cockatoos, lories, parrots, parakeets, and lovebirds. Typically these plates are found in a three-volume set with text and 81 plates published between 1884 and 1887. This portfolio with loose plates and no text is complete with 79 plates as stated on the title page. We could find only a handful of examples of this portfolio in auction records. Intended primarily as a guide for those interested in keeping parrots as pets, the publisher spared neither pains nor expense to make the work as attractive as possible. For the book publication: FINE BIRD BOOKS, page 103; NISSEN 393; ZIMMER, page 274. A few plates with light foxing in the margins and a bent corner here or there, some plates trimmed closer than others, but overall bright and clean and quite scarce in this format.

Tall octavo,three volumes,81 colour-printed wood-engraved plates (chromoxylographs) by Benjamin Fawcett drawn by A. F. Lydon. Publisher's turquoise green blindstamped cloth, bookplate, a very good crisp set. The first book devoted exclusively to parrots in captivity and with much of Australian interest. Occasional contributions were made by the Rev. F. G. Dutton, who writes of the spectacular, but now extinct, Paradise parrot Psephotus pulcherrimus and unwittingly describes their breeding behaviour of burrowing into termite mounds. "A pair I had were most anxious to burrow into the wall of a room in which they were. Had they done so they would have got into a loft and escaped. So they were caged and sent to the Zoological Gardens [London] ." (volume two, pp. 31-2). Parrots in captivity is also significant because of the method used in producing the handsome coloured plates. Benjamin Fawcett (1808-1893) devised a technique of colour printing using wood blocks known as chromoxylography. He is best known for his illustrations for Morris' A history of British birds and "The last bird book for which [Frank] Lydon did the drawings and Fawcett the printing was . Parrots in Captivity, published in 1884-88 in three volumes and two parts of a proposed fourth volume" (Jackson, Christine. Wood engravings of birds 1978). The fourth volume mentioned by Jackson is exceptionally rare, probably a proof issue, and hardly ever seen on the market. Parrots in Captivity should always be considered complete in three volumes.
