Product Description

Native to Indonesia and New Guinea, these handsome birds require a high-fiber diet with lots of fruit and greens. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are heavily illustrated with color photos and line art, and are filled with reliable, easy-to-understand information on pet care. The many titles in this series show and tell pet owners how to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, gerbils, hamsters, and virtually every other animal that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, maintaining health care, housing, proper feeding, and where applicable, grooming and training. Clear, straightforward text comes with high-quality, full-color photos and anatomically accurate line art, as well as helpful tables and charts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Very informative for such a small book!, March 4, 2003
By DEAN MOSER (WINDSOR, CO United States) - See all my reviews
I personally found Katy's recommendations for the eclectus parrot to be right on. It is nice to read an "easy to read" book with so much wonderful information. Katy does a great job of clearly describing the personality characteristics of the beautiful but sometimes independent eclectus parrot. This is a book that I will give any new owner of one of my babies because it does such a great job of describing and informing about this beautiful and great companion parrot.

If you are looking at getting an eclectus this book is a must - being [an inexpensive] book, but loaded with great information - what is the loss if you decide that an eclectus isn't for you. Thanks Katy for writing such a right on book!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful eclectus reference guide, March 4, 2002
By A Customer
This book is really good for general information on caring for an Eclectus parrot. Gives good insight into their personalities and behaviors. Book is full of beautiful pictures and directions for preparing food for the Eclectus. For anyone who loves Eclectus parrots and would like a good reference guide for owning one, this is the perfect book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and helpful guide for the Eclectus, April 5, 2007
This is a concise and helpful guide for all those who reside with an Eclectus parrot or hope to do so soon. Eclectus are unique in important ways other than being sexually dimorphic (males and females look different). They also do not do well on seed or pellet diets fed to many parrots. The book covers care of your bird, how to provide necessary intellectual stimulation with safe toys, information about common health problems and lots of other information critical to the well-being of your feathered friend.
