Book Reviews of The Healthy Bird Cookbook: A Lifesaving Nutritional Guide and Recipe Collection
Book Review: A general introduction to the nutritional needs of pet birds
Summary: 5 Stars
The Healthy Bird Cookbook: A Lifesaving Nutritional Guide And Recipe Collection by experienced bird trainer and author Robin Deutsch is a unique and unusual pet ownership reference guide. It is a general introduction to the nutritional needs of pet birds, including notes on how to feed them from weaning onward, offering an assortment of healthy recipes to supplement a bird's diet along with standard seeds (which are largely "empty calories" junk food for birds) and pellets (which are not guaranteed to provide all the vitamins and minerals a bird needs by themselves, especially since pellet-making processes can destroy nutrients). Of particular value to all bird owners is the warning section of toxic foods that must never, ever be given to one's pet bird, such as chocolate, a deadly poison to many animals, or fruit pits and the flesh of fruit that is in contact with the pit. Even cooking with non-stick utensils must never be done in a household with birds, as non-stick kitchenware emits colorless, odorless fumes that can be lethal. A pioneering guide highly recommended especially for owners and caretakers of pet birds from common budgies to exotic amazonian beauties.
