Customer ReviewsKarla J. Kuriger Said: Truly a Complete Manual for Beginners ( Jan. 27th 2009 ) When we rescued an escaped Parakeet from certain death (she'd spent several nights in sub-zero temps) we knew that we could not keep her. We have 7 cats! My husband's parents agreed to keep her, but knew only about caring for cockatiels. Since they are in their 80's, we wanted to make certain that they knew the ins and outs of parakeet care. This book, while short, is packed full of all the information you may need to know about parakeet care - from the basics of feeding and cage care, to breeding and creating your own flock. It is obvious that the author is quite smitten by parakeets, and tends to refer to them at times almost as if they are people. Yes, each and every animal has their own personality and endearing charms, and birds are certainly in this category. What we found most interesting was her insight into the flock mentality, and how important it is to either BE the bird's flock, or have more than one bird. To leave a parakeet alone for many hours during the day, with contact from no one, is to condemn the bird to misery. Once reading this, we ran out and bought our rescued bird a mate. Since introducing them to each other, they are inseparable. Our parents read the book thoroughly, and changed or adapted the cage, the feeding and the socializing of their birds accordingly. Since they don't care to allow the birds to fly through the house, finger taming isn't going well! The book recommends that all parakeets be allowed to fly and to explore their environments. The book gives exact instructions for "bird-proofing" the home so that the naturally curious birds do not fall into things, eat things, or generally hurt themselves. The author has thought of everything. We highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of having parakeets. Sheila K. Griffin Said: Parakeets (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) ( Jan. 8th 2007 ) I had thought that I knew a lot about the care and feeding of parakeets, this book showed me much more. D. J. Lee Said: informative but not complete ( Jun. 26th 2006 ) Some of the information is great, but it still left me with questions. So the title "A Complete Pet Owner's Manual" is misleading. It does have good information on diet and health and exercise. But it seems like an overview. But I was looking for more than an overview. The title should be "Parakeets, an overview for the new owner" More details please! K. Avorywoskie Said: Parakeets A Complete Pet Owner's Manual ( Feb. 12th 2005 ) I LOVE this BOOK! It is quite informative. I do wish to obtain additional books on parakeets. I wish these books had been around when I was growing up! i LOVE these animals. Their so cretive and unique in their own little ways thought they really are n ot small at all! Thanak you. sauerkraut Said: An educational manual ( Dec. 20th 2004 ) Authored by Annette Wolter, this manual on parakeets was published in 1999. There are 87 pages. Eight chapters are contained. Numerous color photos and black-and-white drawings are provided. Also, an index is included. The anecdotes the author supplies are informative. Examples of topics covered are tips on purchasing, bathing, care, toys, diet, health, breeding, cages, taming, teaching the parakeet how to talk, intelligence, and behavior. I find the chapter focusing on behavior to be instructive and fascinating. In addition, two tables are displayed; one deals with dangers to the parakeet, while the other deals with health problems. The color photos of the parakeets are pleasing. As for the black-and-white drawings, they are impressive and educational. I recommend this manual.
