Product Description

Lovebirds are social birds, but it is a myth that they must always be kept in pairs as a tame single bird can make a wonderul companion. Keeping healthy, contented lovebirds require dedicated care. Designed and illustrated much like Barron's Pet Owner's Manuals, this handbook has more pages, even more photos, and more fully detailed pet care advice and instruction. Pet owners and people who plan to acquire a pet will find information on health care, feeding, and housing—and where applicable, on grooming and training. All photos are top quality and in full color. Many of the titles in this series also feature instructive line illustrations.

From the Author
African lovebirds have long delighted pet bird owners. Their inquisitive, playful nature and small size make hand-fed lovebirds ideal pets. This book will guide you in how best to choose a quality lovebird, as well as give solid advice on how to care and train your bird so it will be a happy, well-adjusted pet. If you have a lovebird who has developed such bad habits as biting or screaming, there are tips on how to turn such behaviors around. The book dispels many of the myths about lovebirds, such as the belief that they must be kept in pairs. My overall goal was to write the book that I wish I had when I first starting keeping lovebirds.
