Book Reviews of Guide to Companion Parrot Behavior
Book Review: guide to parrot behavior
Summary: 4 Stars
For the person interested in different species of pet birds,their care and personalities, this book offers a generic overview. As an experienced bird "person" I was looking for a more in-depth description of a specfic species. I almost put it down without finishing until I paged to the individual stories of the different parrots. I enjoyed reading the stories of the different birds, their experiences, histories and especially how the newer owners understood and created a more fulfilling environment (love,care and concern)for them. I learned new methods of dealing with birds and appreciate any new method for understanding bird behavior. I would recommend this book for the beginner/intermediate bird lover but for the very experienced bird lover, they would do better to find a publication that discribes just one species. However, they would miss the wonderful stories in this book!Book Review: Great guide for families with parrots or who want parrots.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book really gives you a good introduction to the various kinds of parrots that are available. It describes their habits and tendencies so that it makes it easier to choose a new parrot or understand your current friend.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for their first parrot or for an addition to their family.
Book Review: Very helpful
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to be very helpful. Being a first time Macaw owner, I found that I had made some big mistakes right away due to my ignorance. We are working on correcting the problems and following the advice given in the book. I never would have realized the mistakes I was making if I had not purchased this book.Book Review: Compared to "Guide to a well-behaved parrot"
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book a few days back after being disappointed by the author's other book "Guide to a Well-Behaved Parrot" (see my review for the said book). It is significantly improved over the other book. It is better organized and contains more factual material, including sections on old and new world parrots (some general idiosyncracies). Whereas the previously reviewed book was very poor, this one rates average. It still lacks w.r.t. specificity, depth, and consistency. Maybe 7-8 pages (as opposed 1-2) will suffice to condense the information contained in the book. I also ordered another book "Companion Parrot Handbook" by S. Blanchard. That is a fantastic book (see my review for the said book)!
