Customer Reviews

Great book
We had already read this book after checking it out from the library. It was a good, relevant book so we bought it as reference for our new pet.

Great Cockatiel Overview
This book is a great overview for the first-time cockatiel owner. The layout is great and the pictures are both beautiful and instructive. It gives a little bit about food, illness and overall what to expect as a cockatiel owner. It is a great starting point for other books such as "Holistic Care for Birds" (McCluggage) and "The Healthy Bird Cookbook" (Deutsch). This is also a very helpful book to have if you are a cockatiel owner with kids, as it is a very kid-friendly book which the whole family can enjoy.

Cockatiels
So far it has been real informative about cockatiels,and how to take care of them.
