4.0 out of 5 stars New and old cockatoo owners this book is for you, June 21, 2000

By	"breahorse" (Alberta) - See all my reviews

This book although fairly short is very informative. Weither your a first time cockatoo owner or have owned them for years this book is for everyone. It goes into detail of complete care for these birds, and mainly anything you need to know about them is there. I enjoyed it, and think any bird lover and cockatoo owner would as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brief but reliable, May 22, 2001

By	C. Henri (United States) - See all my reviews

A great introduction to cockatoos and how to care for them, and it's honest about the challenges as well as the benefits of sharing your life with one of these guys. It has up-to-date information on how to house them, feed them, and keep them busy, and a very helpful section of brief descriptions of each spieces, which lets you compare the sizes, care, and temperaments--read before you choose a 'too! There's lots more to know, but this is a good place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative., November 11, 2006

By	Gynocide (Bakersfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great book if you need a quick summary and synopsis about cockatoo ownership. In my case it helped me to see that while I am an experienced bird owner, a cockatoo is not an appropriate pet for me at this time in my life.
