This book is helpful! We have 20 birds! Some breed all the time. You have to put a stop to those. Others you never know when they are going to breed. If they have trouble feeding their young, this book helps guide you through the steps. It also teaches you all about pet birds. I've been a pet bird owner for years!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings on this one...
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014

The book is called handfeeding and raising baby birds, but the first 95 pages cover incubating eggs and so on. Then the hand-feeding info finally starts --it is a good book, somewhat generalized (it has only a couple paragraphs per species) so if you want something species-oriented this is not it. If you are new to hand-feeding you will probably get a lot of info from this book; I can see it being the 'bible' of hand-feeding for some. It is full of facts about food temperature, how thick to make it etc.

All the relevant information to handfeeding is found on pages 102-128. Then it goes into bird illnesses. So you might find just as much information on the Internet, especially if you are only feeding one kind of baby bird. That said, I am not new to hand-feeding and I picked up some new tips.

This is an excellent book on the total care of baby parrots. Also includes general care of adult parrots. I've read many parrot books and have owned a parrot for 10 yrs and I highly recommend this book. Well written and a good reference book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where was the editor on this book?
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2003

If you have patience, you can get a good "overview" of handfeeding pet baby birds here..
If not.. I suggest you go elsewhere.
Dr.Vriends thoughts are disorganized, self-congratulatory, and all over the place. He could of used an intelligent editor here.
Each chapter has information that is right out of the authors head-- instead of organizing laying of eggs, incubating, feeding, etc. in concise chapters. The chapters repeat lots of information. I found it very hard to follow-- trying to turn forward and back to other chapters with "sort of" the same topic.
I respect Dr. Vriends expertise on most everything...but, the points on this book are not organized.
What if you don't want to feed the baby birds when they first hatch? What if you want to socialize them while still letting the mom and dad feed? There are lots of places here where I left scratching my head-- and re-reading the convoluted syntax in this book asking "what is he trying to say here"?
This book definately is written from the standpoint of out of the incubator, into the breeders hands...
Dr. Vriends, you have more experience on this to share, don't you? Too professional a book...
