Covers materials the new Conure owner needs....,
By Dianne Foster "Di" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Conure Handbook (Paperback)
I bought this book a while back when my granddaughter Rita became interested in Conures. I thought we were going to get a Conure for her, but we ended up buying a Cockatiel and Grandma got the Conure. I have four Cockatiels and they are the sweetest birds, so I thought the best pet for a child (Rita is a responsible 12-year old) might not be a Conure, as they are described as being somewhat vocal.I discovered a Blue-Crested (Crowned) Conure in need of a home at my local bird store and became fascinated with him. Vinnie, as he is known, had been previously owned by an older woman who could no longer care for him. He is a sweet bird and he talks, so I having read Ms Watkins book decided to give it a whirl, and I brought him home. Now I can honestly say that a Conure can be as sweet as a Cockatiel. He makes some noises like a Crow, but I have three barking Poms, so he is mild in comparison (and he's learned to bark). THE CONURE HANDBOOK by Anne Watkins has proved a goldmine for this impulsive bird owner. Watkins explains how to choose a new baby or do what I did, and look for an older Conure who exhibits good traits (including healthy). The idea that the only bird you can have is a newborn ain't necessarily so. Some older birds for sale or adoption have been put into care because their former owners simply could not take care of them anymore. MY new Conure Vinnie is getting along well with my "shelter" Cockatiels, and I use Ms Watkins book to inform me about foods Vinnie can eat as well as other requirements. The book is filled with easy to read text and many photos of the various members of the Conure species. Based on my experience, I am thinking I may purchase more and different buddies. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful

Very informative book,
By J. D. Therres - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Conure Handbook (Paperback)
This is a very informative book on conures that explains everything that you will ever need to know about conures - from what to feed - how to treat them - how to tame - how to teach them to talk. I would use these book over any other book. I ordered other books and wouldn't use any other. This is the book to use.

Great Book for Beginner Bird Owners!,
By KLF "KLF" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Conure Handbook (Paperback)
I thought this book was great for all conure owners, or if you are considering a conure. The information given was on the basics like feeding, housing, illnesses; what to watch out for. Foods, do's and don'ts....DON'T feed your conure avocado, it will kill your bird! I wouldn't have known this if I didn't research. I highly recommend this book if you are considering owning any type of conure!GREAT BOOK with GREAT INFO! |
