Book Reviews of the Cockatiels For Dummies
Customer Review: Not really her best work
Summary: 3 Stars
Diane Grindol is, no doubt, a very nice person. However, I hear a lot of ¨Diane¨ and not so much useful, objective, and in depth advice about how to take care of cockatiels. She obviously loves her cockatiels and they are loveable birds, I'm with her on that.
But imagine if the lady who wrote ¨Pregnancy for Dummies,¨ or the guy who wrote ¨Cleaning Windows XP for Dummies¨ took on the same sentimental tone?
However, the book is very sweet. Personally I like it.
Her section on illnesses is very informative. I have referenced it on several occasions.
However, she does not really detail bird reproduction; she brushed it aside. She explains the body signals and mating calls, but she said it should not be encouraged.
With other birds, mating can create complications, such as aggression, egg-binding, negligant parenting, etc. I wanted to know how likely these problems can arise with a pair of cockatiels.
Maybe they don't ever arise?
