Summary: Informative Book
Review: This book is good, It dosen't talk to much on one topic, however it does talk about almost everything such as feeding, behaviour, history, taming (training) and more. However if you want a more usefull book that tells you what to do and how this isn't the book for you.

Summary: Informative Book
Review: This book is informative and well set out. Looking up a paticular part is easy. It has good pictures and is easy to read. It needs to expand a little more in the illness section as when my bird was ill, the symptons did not match any in the book. It is a good book for kids to start with as it goes through care of a cockatiel, diet and general day to day concerns. If you have a sick bird, another book on the shelf is recommended.

Summary: If you're a new owner, get this book.
Review: This book is not just for owners of cockatiels.

When I first bought my pet tiel, this book was very helpful in discussing all the elements of owning a new cockatiel.

Ms. Rach does a very nice job of outlining all the necessary steps in making sure your tile is healthy and happy.

Various chapters in the book include nutrition, training, taming, purchasing, health, diagnosing sickness, cockatiel behavior and other helpful chapters.

The book is enjoyable to read as Ms.Rach draws from her love and experience in raising these wonderful birds.

What is distinguishing about her book and other books is her style of writing. You can really tell that she really loves these particular birds.

The book does not delve into the subjects of breeding or other heavy duty bird type topics such as formulating your own bird seed diet, etc. But if you are a new cockatiel owner who needs a good basic book about how to take care of your bird, I would recommend this book to you.
