1.0 out of 5 stars Please don't buy!, August 10, 2005
This review is from: Cockatiels as a Hobby (Save Our Planet) (Paperback)
Seed feeding, done as advocated by this book, can take up to 20 years off your cockatiel's life! Modern references instruct bird owners to feed a diet of 30-50% seed, the remainder being pellets and table food.

There's also nothing on popular sandpaper perches (sold to reduce the need for nail clippings). These types of perches abrade the skin on the bird's feet and allow bacteria to enter into the bird. They should absolutely not be used, but the book doesn't say anything about that either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily 10-STARS in pet care!, March 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cockatiels as a Hobby (Save Our Planet) (Paperback)
This is a comprehensive guide for new and prospective cockatiel owners. I found it very thorough, since it covers everything from preparing a cage to providing the healthiest and most nutritious foods.

The health care section, worth the price of the book alone, advises owners not only on treatment of injuries and diseases, but tells how to avoid problems in the first place. The illustrations are helpful. The stunning color photos are some of the most phenomenal I have ever seen in any pet book!

If that weren't enough for the average pet lover, there are also tips on breeding, training, and selecting these wonderful creatures! Enjoy!
