Parakeets For Dummies Kindle Edition

The book itself was quite informational, but the cover looked as though a birdt or a baby had scratched it making little marks everywhere .it was also bent on the side. It looks second hand But I don’t recall wanting a second hand book. After all I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover, but I will. I would give it 5 stars but the cover just lowered it to 4 stars. I would recommend it if you wanted to take the chance the book comes in tattered. I enjoyed the book and won’t want to change anything about it maybe the cover but I love it still recommend

I have had parakeets before but I clearly did a lot of things incorrectly. This was a very easy and informative read that brought me up to speed on what needs to be done to help give these little birds a healthy and productive life. I was happy to learn some of the things I am doing right. I now know what fruits and vegetables to feed these birds but in the week I have had them they seem to have no interest in anything but seeds. I will keep working on them because I want to have them for a very long time. This book is a great reference for a non-expert just adopting a parakeet for the first time and should be read before such a purchase is made.

As a new parakeet owner, I found this book very informative. It includes tips on:- Telling the difference between the English budgie and American parakeet, and how to decide which you want- Behavior, and what to look for when selecting a bird- How and when to get started training- Signs of illness/injury, first aid, and how to make a hospital cage to keep your bird in until you can get him/her to the vet- Feeding: what overall type of diet is best, which foods are safe and which to avoid- Basic cage setup- Acclimation and taming- Wing and nail trimming- One parakeet, or a pair of 'keets?- Bird-proofing your house or a room- Teaching your bird to talk (Did you know male parakeets can learn *hundreds* of words and phrases? I didn't!)Doesn't include much information on specific vocalizations or housetraining. It's also a little repetitive, but the information presented is good.

Loved that it came in great condition and actually got here really quick I’m very pleased with everything about it

Bought this for my son to learn about his new bird. It has been a great informational book so far.

This is a great book but I felt that the book got into more complicated stuff a little too early for me.

Bought this and had it sent to my grandson who was wanting a parakeet. After getting the book he decided he really didn’t want one.Not a great instruction guide for kids under 12 unless they are avid readers.He also said that he wasn’t no dummy… lolWas suppose to be in good-almost new condition BUT HAD many many many notes the previous owner wrote all over the pages was distracting to say the least, plus a book written in as. Much as this one is NOT “almost new” condition.

I like this book the only problem it dont go in detail but i thought it wasnt a bad book it was alright

Crystal-clear writing, a wealth of information, and a likably no-nonsense attitude make this an excellent guide book for beginners (like me). The only thing missing is more detail on which other species of birds budgies are compatible with, and which houseplans are / are not OK for them. But still, the quality and quantity of facts are both excellent and the presentation is navigable, easy to digest, and enjoyable. She definitely knows what she's talking about.

This book has been so helpful to me as I am preparing to get two young budgies. It's written in an easy to read way and I found the icons helpful to show what is important to note and remember. I am hoping this will make me a better budgie carer.

We acquired a yellow baby show budgie recently and this easily readable book has been invaluable in helping to bring up our new pet

taught me a few things

Very useful
