Don't be fooled by this book's small number of pages. Great information on care, feeding, breeding, and even some updates on the taxonomy of conures. This book is up to date and accurate. I'd recommend it for advanced or novice conure keepers.

Conure lovers... you need this book. Excellent information on the daily needs and common sense thoughts about conures. No pitty pat information, just good ole fashioned reading which will really help one increase thier knowledge surrounding these birds.

It is a good book, but I was expecting something more complete and "in detail".

This book seems a little outdated and is a slim volume. The photos are colorful and well done. For someone who knows nothing about Conures and parrot species in general, it may be a good place to start. I found the explanatiion of Taxonomy to be beyond the the average pet owner needs or even wants to know. The book had a clinical, scientific feel to it, but did little to explore the joys of owning one of these highly intelligent and affectionate birds. If your budget can only afford one Conure book, you should pass this one up. For those collecting books about these faciniating parrots, it's a good addition to your parrot book library. Those wishing to start breeding their own Conures will find the section on breeding helpful, it provides a good overview of the process and is something that is hard to find in most books about particular parrot species.
