5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Your Chid Before You Buy Them A Parakeet!, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Taking Care of Your Parakeet (Young Pet Owner's Guide) (Paperback)

This is a great book for a young person to read or have read to them before you all decide whether a parakeet is right for your famaily. This book very simply shows a child or an adult if a prakeet is right for them, it also tells one how to plan for your bird, what you will need(cage, food, toys, vitamins, etc)before you even bring your bird home, how to take care of it, how to tame it, how to breed. All of this information is explained with detail yet very easy to understand, my child and I read it together in less than a half hour, and now we know we have a lot more to think about and plan before we purchase our bird. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking of purchase a parakeet for a child or even an adult. It is really a must read!
