Sandee Molenda is known throughout the parrotlet breeder and owner community for being one of the best resources for information on the species. As the first book on parrotlets, it's fantastic. It needs some proofreading, but for a self-published book trying to disseminate information on a species with very little about them out there, it's a stellar effort. Perhaps the next edition will have the color pictures that everyone would love to see.

The book was an insult to my intelligence, besides being poorly written and spiral bound, they Put in copied black and white photos, Why? They served no purpose. I felt I had really been ripped off, then to add insult to injury, I get a bumper sticker and a pen so I can advertise, Hunh? Where are they comming from?

When I bought this book I was expecting some real expertise. Instead I was very disappointed in the content and the way the book is put together. I wouldn't even call it a book, I would call it a sixth grade project that might have gotten a D-. Ms. Molenda is portrayed to be an expert, however, she hasn't really given a lot of good information in this book. I question some of her methods in the care of handfeeding and formula content. Misleading information like this can confuse a new breeder. She shouldn't have written in absolutes but recommendations instead. I have found other breeders that have more information and are much more knowledgeable in Parrotlet care. Unfortunately, they have not written a book. I personally would do a web search for information instead of buying this book. You would save yourself a lot of money. I had to give this book 1 star because they didn't have a 0.
