Conures as Pets: Including Information about Sun Conures and Green-Cheeked Conures: Care, training, breeding, diet, lifespan, sounds, behavior, ... Cheeked Parakeet and Sun Parakeet comparison

Taylor David makes another home-run with his book, `Conures as Pets'. This is probably the most comprehensive, most helpful book about these adorable birds--truly, you won't need anything else. When they put the phrase "a complete owner's guide" in the title, they're not kidding.I have read another work by Taylor David, specifically his book on Savannah Cats, and like that book, `Conures as Pets' brings great value for your money. It practically covers and discusses every little thing about the care, feeding, even breeding of your beloved pets. The book is brimming with actionable information--the kind of information you can use immediately. For example, it discusses technical details such as cage dimensions, the monthly costs of caring for the birds (depending on how many you own), and whether or not they can be good with children around. It is as if the author helps you every step of the way--from deciding whether to have Conures as pets, to taking good care of them on a daily basis, to even where to get the best outside help if you need further information.What's more, the book comes with great, colourful photos--for a bird lover, looking at pictures of Conures is indescribably exciting and only fires you up to get them, and as soon as possible.Overall, `Conures as Pets' is a great reference whether you're still deciding to buy birds as pets or you're already proud owners of Conures but you're somehow clueless about how to provide them the best things in life. This book is THE ONLY reference book you need as far as taking care of these birds is concerned. Highly recommended!

I read the book in 20 minutes time. It's really not that informative. It explains what they are called and where they are from. I don't think this is a good book to help you decide if buying a Conure is right for you & your family. It has some info that may help, so don't discount it. I have a Green Cheek Conure and I was looking for ways to deal with all their quirkiness. We love our Conure, but at 10 months old she is a biter and has a big personality. She's lovey & affectionate one minute and a meanie the next. We new this was in a Conures personality, but I was looking for a little more detailed information on how to care for them and possibly ways to deal with the things that come along with being a Conure parent. We love her to pieces so I'll just keep looking for a book that fits my needs.

It was actually my son who found this book, Conures as Pets: Including Information about Sun Conures and Green Cheeked Conures. Before I would allow him to have a parrot as a pet, I told him he needed to do some research to find out how to care for a one first. Neither, my son or I expected to learn so much about these beautiful birds but this book made us feel like experts after reading it.We walked into the pet store prepared to tell them exactly what we wanted from the items needed for their care to what would be needed for breeding. We know knew how to keep them alive and healthy for years to come. I do a lot of reading and I don't usually find a book that is as thorough and knowledgeable as what Taylor David has put together here. If you are ready for a Conure or just need a book for research purposes, this is a great one.

Good book for beginners! We just adopted a sun conure and a blue quaker.Helped a lot especially the easy to read section on what you can and cannot feed your bird.

This book was good information.

I am planning on buying a Conure soon and wanted to get to know the basics. This book is a great reference for a new bird owner or an experienced bird owner to just have on hand. There is a great section on bird diseases and sickness so you know what to look for in your pet. At the end it includes a summary sheet for quick reference. All together I thought it was a worthy purchase and a necessary read for any bird owner.

For a book on buying and maintaining Conures, this book is OK, but I was looking for more in-depth information on behavior. Specifically, the book spends very little time on how to read Conure body language. I have since found another book from Amazon that has some sections available online for preview, and this book addresses Conure behavior in much greater detail.

Great little book on Conures. Parakeets make great companion birds, but they need special care and attention. This book covers the basics about care, feeding and nutrition, behavior and training, and lifespan. These little guys are special birds, so buying this book is a no-brainer. If you want to know the most about your pet as possible, then grab this book. It's worth it. Easy to reference and pretty detailed.

a book about conure parrots dif breeds, sickness types how to treat what to feed and what not to feed, toys, cages, care advice all good stuff but it's been written in such a way that it's very boring and it tuck 4 goes to read it all
