Customer Reviews

Great Info!
Terrific info for a new Cockatiel owner-I knew nothing, so of course the title is appropriate, and it's been quite helpful. Thanks for another one, Dummies!

Not for Dummies
REALLY enjoyed this book. Good for beginners and vets. Learned things even after owning birds for 10 years.

Solid Help
When I received two cockatiels from a rescue organization, my vet suggested I read this book. In a couple months, I was able to train my foster birds so that both were adopted. Very helpful.
