Book Description

Complete Pet Owner's Manual February 1, 2006
Here is all the information you need to keep these small and gentle members of the pigeon family as household pets. Topics include caging, nutrition, health, behavior, breeding, and genetics of common pet dove species. This heavily illustrated book avoids technical language while offering sound advice and reliable information to current and soon-to-be pet owners. Written by animal specialists, veterinarians, and trainers, the titles in this series focus on pets of all kinds—different dog and cat breeds, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals, yard animals, and even exotic pets. All Pet Owner’s Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.

    More About the Author

    Hi Folks,
    I live in the western suburbs of Chicago with my photographer husband and our feathered, furred, and scaly companions. I write mostly non-fiction, but occasionally branch out into different areas. My special interests are history and ornithology (especially parrots) but I will chase after whatever catches my fancy. I love to research, and find that is my favorite part of the writing experience. Don't be surprised if my book list covers a rather odd and disjointed selection of subjects. It simply reflects my very short attention span! Stay tuned to see what's next.... gayle

    5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Pet Owners Manual Doves, March 5, 2010
    This review is from: Doves (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
    Out of the many books that I have purchased on Doves I have found no other resource to provide as in depth and informative insight on keeping Doves as pets as this book. It has information on the many difference species of Doves (some of which I never even knew existed), common illnesses associated with keeping them as pets and how to take care of them properly. If you are looking at keeping Doves as pets this book is your one stop shop and a must buy.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Doves (Complete Pet Owner's Manual), September 11, 2008
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Doves (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
    This book gives basic information about keeping doves as pets. It describes how to choose a healthy bird, gives brief descriptions of different species, describes some illnesses, goes into detail about breeding and genetics, all in all it's a decent book about doves. I was expecting more info on how to deal with diseases, more detailed advice on aviaries, this book focuses on indoor cages. I wouldn't call it a "complete pet owner's manual". Haven't found many books on doves so I'm glad I bought this one.
