1.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pictures, but the information is very out of date, April 17, 1999

This review is from: Amazon Parrots (Barron's Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

I bought this book to help me learn more about the amazona genus that I was considering as a pet. But what I found was a book written before 1992 which was around the time importation was banned and hand raising and breeding birds within the United States had became more common. This resulted in very little information about todays common amazons. Also, this book described all the the precautions one must take to ensure the saftey of your wild caught bird, precautions that are now just plain useless! Though if what you are looking for is a picture book about amazons, this is almost a good book for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and outdated; wonderful pictures though!, September 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Amazon Parrots Complete Owner's Manual (Paperback)

As a new Amazon owner I was looking for a species-specific book that would give me detailed information about my blue-front. Unfortunately this book seemed superficial, simplistic, and somewhat out-dated (with some information actually contrary to what is widely recommended now). It has some wonderful pictures, and fragments of useful species information, but overall I think there are better general care books available (certainly more detailed), and this book's Amazon-specific information was sketchy.
