A lovely guide

This is a very thorough and compassionately written guide.

I learned A LOT about birds that I never knew.

The terrible narration did not take away the obvious love Ms. Rockefeller has and education for others regarding her birds.

This Book Was Very Informative

I think this book is very informative and I can learn where I went wrong with Bobbie my last Cockatiel who I had for thirteen years. put sadly died on 28th August 2020 I have now got 2 more Cockatiel called Stan and Olie who are between 12 and 20 weeks old I have already got Olie to do the Step Up unfortunately Stan is still very scared to do anything at the moment and will continue to teach him how to do the Step Up.

Well-written, informative, and well-read

This is a well-written, excellent and informative read. It's very obvious the author has done her research well, and cares a lot about birds. Not only that, but it's also presented in such a way as to make it easy to follow, regardless of how old you might be; if you're old enough to be responsible for the care of a pet like a Cockatiel, you're old enough to be able to read and understand this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of getting a Cockatiel, or those who - like me - are simply interested in what goes in to the proper care of a pet Cockatiel.

I would also like to add that I listened to the audio version of this book, and think the narrator was an excellent choice, since he has a wonderful and clear voice, which is both easy to understand and pleasant to listen to.
