2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, April 17, 2001

By	Eleanor M (USA) - See all my reviews

The information contained in this book is very general. More thorough and detailed information can be found in any basic book on cockatiels. There is only one picture of baby birds in a nest and one picture of a wooden nestbox. All of the other pictures are of adult birds. The books also lacks any pictures or diagrams on the proper technique for hand feeding babies. Information is rather vague in most areas. None of the illnesses or problems associated with hand-feeding are even mentioned. The only merit this book has is its low price.
