1. This book is simply limited in detail and size and cannot compare to the extensive "The New Finch Handbook" by Koepff. But it does have a few large pictures, along with some treatment of a few species which may be of help to the new fancier.

1. As an avid parrot lover and owner of Cockatiels, Conures and Budgies, I love to read up all I can on them. However, this book does not offer good advise on any subject. The worse offense is the 'Nutrition' section. It tells you that 'along with a balanced seed diet...'. SEED DIET? Any bird fancier knows, and any wannabe bird owner should know that a seed diet is detrimental to a birds health and longevity! It states nothing about feeding them nutritious pellets or the different kinds of nutrition. I will say, that it does tell you to feed them fresh fruits and vegetables, but nothing about NOT feeding them avacados or chocolate or alcohol. There is alot of other erroneous material in this book. Although it is an overview and not in any way detailed, the information it gives is not, in anyway, going to be helpful to the beginner or novice bird owner. There are several other great books out there for the same price, but this is not one of them.

1. I have been breeding parrots since 1981. In my opinion this is the best book available for Greys. I have given a copy of it with every African Grey I've sold.



2. While this may have been a very good book in 1984, the avian information gained over the last 15 years makes these older book obsolete, if not down right dangerous. This is a field in which leaps and bounds are made daily. I would recommend a more recent publications, with up to the minute articles from today's (1999) experts. I've kept African Grey's for almost 10 years now.
