Parakeets: How to Take Care of Them and Understand Them

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.

Best book for beginners! Info filled all the way!

This book is the ultimate book for soon-to-be or already parakeet owners. It holds more information on parakeets than I imagined. I am a soon-to-be parakeet owner who was looking for a good book on parakeet care and training. I found this book and immediately knew that I'd have to buy it for further reference! This book holds information on: hand and trust training, tips for purchasing a parakeet, states what you'll need for your parakeet, information on toys, prevention of diseases and boredom, and much much more! I cannot even begin to describe the whole book. Annette Wolter refers to her life experiences with her parakeets that helped me to understand better what to expect from parakeets. This book DEFINITELY deserves MORE than 5 stars! Looking for a REALLY good parakeet owner's manual? This IS the book for you!

Our family has been living with parakeets for about four years now and we refer to this book on at least a weekly basis for answers to various questions about diet, socialization and behavior. It's very well-indexed --(E.g., Should your budgie have broccoli? Just look under "vegetables") -- which makes using the slim volume easy and productive. It isn't very detailed or tremendously scientific, but for the average parakeet owner/lover, it's a good little book to keep under your cage next to your millet spray!

If you've never owned a parakeet before, this might be the best place to start...lots of basic background information, will encourage you to read more about budgies and, if you haven't already, go out and buy one (or several!) Recommended! Also, very cute photographs and nice presentation.
