Your First Cockatiel,
By "jodi_g_33" (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your First Cockatiel (Your First Series) (Paperback)
About a week before I purchased my first cockatiel, a pet shop owner recomended that I read this book (I know now that he was just trying to get another sale) So i bought it for $... at his shop. I had already read numerous other books on cockatiels and other birds. But I thought that one more couldn't hurt. It's a good deal for the couple bucks you have to pay for it, but the information it contains is limited. It has only 33 pages including the bibliography, and when the book is open and flat it's about the size of a standard computer peice of paper. If you just want basic information on caring for your bird then it's a good choice. But again there is little information. Every other page is a picture of a different kind of cockatiel. I noticed that the information in this book contradicts information that I found in other books. For instance in my other books it says you should have a cage with a wired bottom so feces and old food can just drop to the collector below it, which makes a cleaner environment for your bird. Yet in this book it says that, "under natural conditions Cockatiels feed mostly on the ground. Therefore, Cockatiels should have access to the bottom of their cage. Metal grills recomended for hygenic reasons prevent this, and therefor should not be used." So the book is basically saying it's ok for your bird to walk around in it's feces and urine, because it's "natural" well i don't know about you but I disagree with it on that issue. So if your short on cash and just need to know a little bit about cockatiels this would be a great read. But don't trust all the information given to you in it. My recomendation though is for you to splurge and buy a better and more informative book about cockatiels.
