This book is a good source for those who are looking for information on basic care and breeding of conures. However, it gives little information on keeping Conures as pets. There are almost no training tips given.

This is not of great value to the average companion bird owner. It is geared mainly to the individual interested in breeding and setting up a breeding avaiary. There is very scant info on personality and characteristics. As most info is for breeding purposes,all cage and care requirements are written for at least 2 birds. Almost all info is provided concerning wild caught, or nearly adult-parent reared offspring. As it is so easy to locate a good breeder that hand rears young, this is of little use. This book did not meet my needs, but would be useful to a perspective breeder of Sun Conures.

This book is great for those who have just purchased their new conure. There are beautiful illustrations and many colored photos. But the book is mostly about breeding and it contained words that weren't really clear. It should have had more tips on training the bird. But other than those, i would say that it would be a good book to buy.

I am a pet bird owner looking for info about behavior specfic to conures. I felt this book was primarily adressing those who want to get into breeding of birds. The photos were excellent. I have a green eyed conure, she is delightful and while green, the edges of her feathers are rimmed with a lighter green. She is beautiful and personable, contrary to the book's opinion of this type of conure.

This book is to helpful in your curiosity about the kinds of conures there are & how to house them but hardly any info. is given on how to understand they're personality or on their habits & how to explore them further.

User friendly, good photographs, simple text and easy to read. Not enough warning about how loud these birds are but other than that pretty comprehensive.

Tried to cover many aspects with short information. I would have liked to read more on behavior. Foods to stay away from and training were not covered at all. Overall this book is more for the beginning breeder, less for the pet owner. Still I am glad to have it.

This book, in my opinion, is the best book about conures. This book explains the care, management, and housing of conures. It has 50 full color photographs. It also explains how to breed this particular parrot species. It has full descriptions about the South American conure species. It is also clear enough for young readers.
