Book Reviews of The Second-Hand Parrot
Book Review: Concise and helpful, highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has a great deal of helpful and useful information for adopting a second-hand parrot. I read it cover to cover before bringing home my re-homed bird, and the rehabilitation period is going very well. The book is very insightful and it is clear that the author has many years working with parrots of all temperaments.This book was a tremendous help to me. I highly recommend it for anyone considering adopting or buying a second-hand parrot.
Summary of The Second-Hand Parrot
Two expert parrot owners point out the pros and cons of adopting a bird that has had a previous owner. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are heavily illustrated with color photos and line art, and are filled with reliable, easy-to-understand information on pet care. The many titles in this series show and tell pet owners how to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, gerbils, hamsters, and virtually every other animal that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, maintaining health care, housing, proper feeding, and where applicable, grooming and training. Clear, straightforward text comes with high-quality, full-color photos and anatomically accurate line art, as well as helpful tables and charts.Birds Books
