1.0 out of 5 stars unbelievable, September 26, 2000
I was shocked at some of the unbelievably bad advice in this book. I worry about the woman who said she learned all she needed to know about her amazon - if she thinks she did she needs to find some real information so that she can care for her amazon correctly. Aside from the basic info that applies to most parrots there is so much bad info that it totally baffled me.

1.0 out of 5 stars A book cantaining no useful informations, September 26, 1998
By A Customer
The book don't contain informations really useful: the text could refer to many other parrot species. The photographs are very good, but the legends are so incomplete that it is not possible to use the illustrations to identify the amazons species shown.

1.0 out of 5 stars TFH=Awful & Outdated, November 9, 2005
By Barry A. Schwartz (Maspeth, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As with almost all TFH Publications, the books are woefully outdated and contain erroneous information. You are better off with the more recently published books by Barron's Educational Series or Howell House (John Wiley). TFH's book are a waste of money.
