This review is from: Cockatiels (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) (Hardcover)

If you're thinking of adding cockatiels to your family, this book gives a lot of insight about their care and diet. It's easy to read and has lots of pictures on the variations. Cockatiels are very easy going, and well tempered, and caring for them is not difficult. Follow the advice in this book and you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Cockatiel Overview, July 31, 2009

This review is from: Cockatiels (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) (Hardcover)

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.

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.
