Native to Indonesia and New Guinea, these handsome birds require a high-fiber diet with lots of fruit and greens. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are heavily illustrated with color photos and line art, and are filled with reliable, easy-to-understand information on pet care. The many titles in this series show and tell pet owners how to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, gerbils, hamsters, and virtually every other animal that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, maintaining health care, housing, proper feeding, and where applicable, grooming and training. Clear, straightforward text comes with high-quality, full-color photos and anatomically accurate line art, as well as helpful tables and charts.

Best Eclectus Book So Far,
By Darla R. Mirabal (Riverton, WY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eclectus Parrots (Paperback)
There have only been 3 other books written about the Eclectus parrot, and all of them are outdated and focus mainly on breeding. Ms. McElroy has done an excellent job in gathering the latest information for the pet Eclectus owner and presenting it in an easy to read format. This book should be required reading for all new Eclectus owners. It will answer all of your basic questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and Very informative for such a small book!,
By DEAN MOSER (WINDSOR, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eclectus Parrots (Paperback)
I personally found Katy's recommendations for the eclectus parrot to be right on. It is nice to read an "easy to read" book with so much wonderful information. Katy does a great job of clearly describing the personality characteristics of the beautiful but sometimes independent eclectus parrot. This is a book that I will give any new owner of one of my babies because it does such a great job of describing and informing about this beautiful and great companion parrot. If you are looking at getting an eclectus this book is a must - being [an inexpensive] book, but loaded with great information - what is the loss if you decide that an eclectus isn't for you. Thanks Katy for writing such a right on book!

This book is really good for general information on caring for an Eclectus parrot. Gives good insight into their personalities and behaviors. Book is full of beautiful pictures and directions for preparing food for the Eclectus. For anyone who loves Eclectus parrots and would like a good reference guide for owning one, this is the perfect book for you.
