Synopses & Reviews
Amazon Parrots is a book in Barron's series of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals . These medium-size parrots are known for their playful companionship and their talking ability. Written especially to introduce inexperienced and prospective pet owners to the pleasures and duties of pet care, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals also make fine guides to pet care for older children. These heavily illustrated books are filled with helpful information on purchasing, housing, feeding, health care--and where applicable, grooming and training pets. Each book is individually written by an expert--a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. These manuals cover every popular dog and cat breed, as well as bird varieties, hamsters and other small caged animals, fish varieties for aquarium hobbyists, terrarium pets, and even exotics, such as reptiles, amphibians, and scorpions. All books have 70 or more color photos, and most also have instructive line illustrations.
Synopsis
Books in Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series present basic information about a wide variety of pets for new or soon-to-be pet owners. Advice and instruction covers proper feeding, housing, health care, training, grooming, protection against hazards, and much more. Texts emphasize basics and are easy for all readers to understand, but most titles in this series also present facts that even experienced pet owners and breeders haven't encountered before. Each manual in this extensive series has been individually written by an expert -- many of them professional breeders or veterinarians. Not one of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals is a "clone" derived from some common catch-all book. The number of pages per book varies, since information about some animals involves many more details than others. All books in this series are filled with full-color photos of the highest quality and with instructive line drawings.
