2.0 out of 5 stars Cockatoos, May 31, 2002

This review is from: Cockatoos: Acclimation, Care, Feeding, Sickness, and Breeding (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

This book is no longer usefull.The info. is quite out dated foe example the author tells you that cockatoos need ONLY a seed diet. This was so 20 years ago. Pellets have been proven to be the diet with seeds (if fed) should be 10% of the daily diet. He does say feed fresh veggies,fruits etc.Also you are told about importing birds. This is against the law & has been so for YEARS.Not very much info. most info is only a few lines.under usefull literature & addresses he gives you names & addresses of magazines that are no longer in business. Over all the book is not worth the ink to print it.

4.0 out of 5 stars simple but to the point, January 31, 1999

This review is from: Cockatoos: Acclimation, Care, Feeding, Sickness, and Breeding (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

Upon reading this book, I found it to be a little too short in the areas I'm interested in. I've been breeding birds and taking in neglected birds which is one of the reasons I purchased this book. It is okay for someone wanting general information.( The pictures are nice to look at, says my son.) This is not to be used as a "bible".

3.0 out of 5 stars PRETTY GOOD, June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cockatoos: Acclimation, Care, Feeding, Sickness, and Breeding (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

This book was OKAY. It didn't really talk much about how big they can get etc. Also, half of the book talked only about bredding which IS NOT the reason I bought it. I wanted general information on just SINGLE cockatoos not pairs!
