Customer Reviews

Excellent book for those who own companion lovebirds

A visit to my local library yielded many books about breeding lovebirds, with little focus on the pet owner who wished to keep a single lovebird just as a pet. This book was a lifesaver! It was thorough, as well as fun and simple to read. I am buying the Cockatiel book in the same series for a friend who owns one because this book impressed me so much!

Good book for pet owners, but not breeders

If you're getting a lovebird or 2 for a pet this is a great book. It goes over feeding, health, and all the other things a bird would need. It doesnt talk about breeding though. It goes over the different species which is nice.. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because it didn't talk about breeding. But as a pet book, it should be 5 starts :)

A Necessity for any Lovebird Owner

Do not purchase a Lovebird until you read this book! This book is filled with important information. There is so much that I would have been completely ignorant to if I had not purchased this book. It helped my find the right cage, told me about dangerous toys, first aid, different species, etc. This book contains everything, if you only want to buy one book on lovebirds, make it this one. This book talks about things you would never think of, it is truly a wonderful and informative book. You can tell that the author loves lovebirds, and cares for their well-being. I am so impressed with this book, that if I decide to get another bird one day, I will turn to the same collection. I am looking forward to the arrival of my first baby lovebird, and because of this book, I feel confident and at ease that I can provide a safe and loving home for my bird.

wonderful book!!

I was extremely nervous interacting with my new lovebird. Reading this book was easy and highly enjoyable, it was almost like talking with an old friend. I'm much more aware of the needs of my lovebird and have a much more enjoyable time.

Great book, no information on breeding them

This book is a great book for first time lovebird owners. It covers everything there is to know about them. But only one problem-doesn't talk about breeding.
