5.0 out of 5 stars Getting a good start!, October 25, 2007

By	Cheryl Burns (Keller, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Conures by Carol Frischmann gives a good basic start for the new pet conure owner. This book provides guidance to the individual who is selecting a conure as a pet as well as someone who has just brought home their first conure.

Conures is a visually appealing book that is graphically well-laid out and easy to read. Key information points are set up in table formats that are excellent for a quick reference. A lot of practical information is packed into this publicaton along with suggestions for how to learn more beyond the topics covered within its pages.

It provides a range of basic information for the new pet owner which includes diet, health care, grooming, toys, housing and training. I especially like the tips for how to help children care for and interact with the conure since so many times these birds are chosen as pets for families with children. By giving ideas of specific activities and interactions by age, parents can oversee a level of involvement with the bird that is appropriate for their children.

It is very difficult to have a book that covers all aspects of care for a pet parrot, but this book does cover the basics very nicely. If the new conure owner follows the direction provided, they will be headed the right direction for the enjoyment of owning a healthy, happy pet bird!

5.0 out of 5 stars Conures by Carol Frischmann - GREAT!, July 29, 2007

By	M. Carr (Palm Beach County, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Conures (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) is a great book. Full of good and helpful information. I sat and read it cover to cover. I am now going back and highlighting the information that really stood out. This book is great for overall information and detailed day-to-day care and interaction. I would recommend this book to anyone who owns or plans to purchase a conure for a pet/companion. Excellent resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 28, 2008

By	P. Agostinelli - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has a lot of information about conures. I like the fact that its just about conures instead of all parrots as conures are alittle bit different in the way they act. My blue-crown is the second conure I've had. The first one, a white-eyed conure, lived for 24 years. I purchased this book so that I can keep up with illnesses, wing clipping, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone who has or wants a conure.
