This Cockatiel Book Stands Out!

I decided to buy this book so I could have a cockatiel book of my own and to read something new, and I am glad I did! This book has many unique photos of cockatiels that I haven't seen in other books. Such as a couple of close up shots of a cockatiel in midflight, a cockatiel hanging upside down on a perch, and two pictures of flocks of cockatiels in Australia. Then there are also beautiful pencil drawings throughout the book also. The reading was fresh and interesting too, with facts I haven't found in other books, for example, why cockatiels yawn a lot, the sensory capabilities of cockatiels, what their life is like in the wild (I have been waiting for a book to mention this!) and how to make a play tree for your cockatiel(s). I think this little book has a lot to offer and I highly recommend it to cockatiel fans!

A must read book for 1st time tiel owners!!!

I purchased this book along with my two baby cockatiels, I must say it was filled with information that was helpful. For those thinking or already own tiels, this book is a must read.

Excellent Resource

The tips and strategies for caring for cockatiels found in this book are great. I know that any cockatiel I own will be happier and healthier now that I've read it. It gave me tips on everything from how to build a bird oasis in your living room to what to feed your bird to keep it healthy.
