Book Description

Complete Pet Owner's Manual November 17, 2005
These sociable, intelligent, brilliantly colored parrots make good pets. They can be taught to speak and perform tricks. Titles in the extensive Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series provide pet owners with basic information on keeping healthy, contented, well-cared-for animals. The series includes approximately 175 titles and covers pets of every kind: dogs, cats, and birds of many breeds, as well as fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, and just about any other animal that people keep as a pet. Facts and advice cover all aspects of pet care, which include proper feeding, housing, health care, grooming, training, and much more. The text in each manual is supplemented with many vivid, full-color photos, and with instructive, anatomically accurate line art. Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist.

    This review is from: Macaws (Paperback)
    We really enjoyed this book, we have a Blue & Gold Macaw named Lucky, and he is a corker I tell you; the more we could learn about him before we got him the BETTER let me tell you; this book helped us prepare for sure!
    Plus the book shipped pretty quickly and in new shape, just like we ordered, would definely buy from them again, THANK YOU

    This is a great reference for general needs information. A good place to start with a new Macaw. VERY helpful, especially during those first few days, you will get help to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes and make your experience more positive from the very start.

    2.0 out of 5 stars READ ME!! Complete Manual? More like brief intro!!!, October 9, 2011
    This review is from: Macaws (Paperback)
    Summary: Very scant on useful information. Some nice info, general details and history with beautiful pics, but 'complete manual' ends there.

    Pretty book for the coffee table but that is about it.

    Plenty more info needed.

    Save your money and get a better book.
