5.0 out of 5 stars
Easily 10-STARS in pet care!

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.

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! |
