Someone in another group recommended this book and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. I haven't even read it thoroughly but just flipping through the pages made me want to skip work just to sit at home and read it. It is VERY detailed and provides information on symptoms of a poor diet, anatomy of birds, nutritional charts, etc. I think it's must-have for any bird owner as it gives you a lot of the information necessary to decide what diet is best for your bird and how to spot problems if they arise. Once I've finished it I'll try to update this with a proper review. As of now, this is my opinion upon skimming it. It's very good, lots of great pictures, and easy to understand.

 

It's published by Barron's, the title is Feeding Your Pet Bird, and the ISBN is 0-8120-1521-5

The author is Petra M. Burgmann, DVM

Sounds good wonder if I can get it over here.

Can be ordered online through Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...015215?v=glance

Try ebay as well. I got a copy of it for about $5 (about £2).

Going to order it now seen as though Im stuck at work for an extra half hour - I should be gone now grrrrrrrrrrrr!

It really is an awesome book! I got it off chapters.ca in the used book section for like 4 bucks plus shipping. Great, awesome, etc. I read it everywhere I went. I'm going to reread it and jot a few things down soon enough. It's just... so much information. I was so happy when I found it because really... not enough people write good books like that.

Found one on eBay, finishes 4th May http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Feeding-Your-Pet-Bi...1QQcmdZViewItem

I have bid on another copy for myself.

Thanks for the tip Terri.
