The cockatiel guide joins Birdkeepers’ Guide to African Greys and Birdkeepers’ Guide to Amazons, also by Greg Glendell.

Any hobbyist browsing this book will quickly find useful, interesting and helpful information presented in an easy to access, graphically distinctive style. Birdkeepers’ Guide to Cockatiels provides an outstanding reference book. Clear colour diagrams help to explain anatomy and biology of the cockatiel.

The Birdkeepers’ Guide Series has an RRP of £7.99, contains 96-pages and 250 colour photographs and diagrams. The books promote responsible ownership by stressing the importance of respecting the innate intelligence of birds and keeping them physically and mentally stimulated.

Each book contains 11 chapters ranging from how the birds live in the wild, biology, housing, feeding, training, healthcare and common behavioural problems. Birdkeepers’ Guide to Cockatiels answers the questions birdkeepers really ask. A useful ‘frequently asked questions’ chapter can be found too.

Birdkeepers’ Guide Series shows readers where each species comes from in the wild and its typical behaviour. It shows the temperament of the bird and how you should best relate to it. There are pictorial explanations of aerodynamics showing how the birds fly and the importance of opportunities to fly. There are also details of how birds function physiologically, their sensory abilities, breathing, blood circulation, digestive system and reproduction.
