1.0 out of 5 stars not at all recommended, Jun 14 2001
Nice glossy pictures. Text very uneven. Much of the advice is dated or simply wrong. Seems like "cut and paste" of some old parrot book from the 70's. We now know that parrots can speak some words in appropriate context and with comprehension. We don't give dog kibble anymore. I don't know of anyone who gives their parrot grit... The book seems to be pure merchandising..it looks pretty so buy it, you find out too late that the content isn't very useful.

This book has gorgeous pictures, but the text is completely worthless. It reads like a so-so beginner's book on parrots from the 1970's. The is much misinformation, such as the statement that macaws do not talk! Do not waste your money on this book like I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Polly doesn't want this cracker !!, Jun 6 2001
By "infinitypreservation" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This is by FAR one of the WORST books I have read or had the misfortune of ordering in a LONG time. Here is a quote straight from this book: "Complement the fresh foods you prepare for your macaw with parrot mixes and dry kibble DOG food." Ummm....They call it "DOG" food for a reason!! Considering the variety of pelleted foods out there made specifically for birds recommeding DOG food is pathetic and inexcusable. The other sad fact in this book is that it seems to condone the breeding of hybrid macaws =(. All in all, there is NOTHING worth recommending about this book. The glossy pictures don't make up for information which in the VERY LEAST will drastically and negatively affect the health and lifespan of your companion bird!!! PLEASE do not buy this book, as neither the publisher (TFH) or the author deserve to profit from a book that would not even be worth using for cage liner!!
