[.uk] Lovebird Handbook, The (Barron's Pet Handbooks) (ISBN 0764118277)

• Barrons Lovebird Handbook

Not enough general review:
The book has some basic review of lovebirds but fills the rest of the book with explanations of genetics and the mutations and pictures of all the lovebird mutations. It wasn't particularly what I was looking for. I wanted to know their habits, personalities, etc. as I was not looking to breed lovebirds.

Excellent and very thorough:
This is the 6th book I've read about lovebirds, and my favorite one. It has alot of history on the birds, and also talks about training them, how to handle them when they first come home, diseases, and how to feed them and even a chapter on breeding. Very complete, and has so many pictures that it makes it hard not to read. I recommend it!

Information About Lovebirds:
I purchased a Lovebird with limited knowledge of its care. Vera Appleyard gives extensive information about the care and feeding of Lovebirds in the book, LOVEBIRD HANDBOOK.

Handbook for love birds..:
The book arrived quicker than I expected. It is my bible of raising love birds. Very informative and a must have for love bird fanatics..

A beautiful, handy little book covering all the basics:
If I had to pick one book that should be obligatorial to anyone purchasing a lovebird, this one would be it. It covers pretty much everything you need to know about the purchase, care, feeding, housing, safety, breeding and, last but not least, the lovebirds bodylanguage. I think they've successfully covered the basics. I would, however like to see a little more about games you can do together with your bird, that they enjoy. Tricks ain't something that comes naturually to them and talking is extremely rare in lovebirds. A guy I know use to tear up old newspaper in a bowl and hide treats under the paper-pieces. They'll sort of dig under the paper with their beak (or entire head) and pick up treats. His birds love this, they whistling and cheer. "Owning a bird", he once told me, "ain't nothing like owning a dog. If you're nice to the dog it will be nice to you, but birds are a little harder to get a grip at" It's a beautiful little book with huge, pretty photos spread through it. Well worth the money.
