4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, but with little detail, November 19, 2001
This review is from: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Caged & Aviary Birds (Hardcover)
This book is a masterpiece when it comes to picture quality and when you are looking for a book that covers the most common species. If you have special interest in one or some species, the book is far from detailed enough

Also, the book makes a great present for a bird lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Caged & Aviary Birds, July 15, 2007
This review is from: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Caged & Aviary Birds (Hardcover)
One of the first books you should buy if you're thinking of purchasing any kind of pet bird. An excellent overview of most available. Great for the newcomer or experienced bird keeper.

This review is from: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Caged & Aviary Birds (Hardcover)
this is the best I've found so far. I've read this book cover to cover, but it is also great to just pick up and flip to a random page. It would be great for a parrot beginner.
