Eclectus Parrots (ISBN 0764118862)

• Barrons Eclectus Parrots

Concise and helpful guide for the Eclectus:
This is a concise and helpful guide for all those who reside with an Eclectus parrot or hope to do so soon. Eclectus are unique in important ways other than being sexually dimorphic (males and females look different). They also do not do well on seed or pellet diets fed to many parrots. The book covers care of your bird, how to provide necessary intellectual stimulation with safe toys, information about common health problems and lots of other information critical to the well-being of your feathered friend.

I just got my copy:
I just received my copy of the book from the mail. My first impression was that it was quite thin. I was hoping for more information about breeding and aviary design, but the sections dealing with those topics were quite short. I was hoping to find a section wherein hybrids were thoroughly discussed and if a hybrid bird would have any deformities later on or if they would lead to infertile offspring. Also, I was hoping to find more detailed analysis, and photographic documentation (probably pictures of different races perching side by side for comparison) of the different races. Anyway, except for the above-mentioned items, I found the book quite useful specially for beginners like myself.

eclectus parrots:
Very using useful guide to help you take care of your eclectus bird. Nice pictures. Easy read. Sound advices.

Informative Book:
I bought this book before getting my eclectus parrot and I found it to cover everything I can think of I could possibly want to know. Shows pictures of Eclectuses displaying different body languages and their explanations. Covers diets,differences between sub-species,covering a cage or not to cover and much more. Lots of pictures too.
