Customer Reviews

All the answers in half the time
If you've ever had a bird, you know they can be, well, odd birds! I was in the pet store the other day and saw this book. Got it on a whim because we have two Parakeets. My wife and I sat on our couch with it and went "bird watching" for a while. The book is so right on. Now if I could just get a book called Why Does Your Wife Do That?

Very Cute Book!
This book is very cute and well written. There's just enough info here, but it doesn't try to tell you every single thing about parakeets, though if you love parakeets you'll get a kick out of the illustrations. I have another parakeet book by this author and that one has more info in it. Anyway, I really liked this book!

Cute but no substance
This book is really general. While it may help answer a couple of questions an owner may have about Parakeets, a more comprehensive book would be better. But, it is an entertaining half-hour read for someone who does not need this as her sole reference.
