Summary: Worth the money
Comment: I am considering a Pionus Parrot for our household and purchased this book to learn more about the species. The author has presented a complete book that answered all of our questions and concerns. I found the historical and breeder information fascinating and helpful even though we have no plans for breeding. The full color format is easy to read and the photographs are beautiful and numerous. A good complete reference book that is worth the price.

Summary: Amateurish
Comment: Don't waste your money. Slim volume, full of repetition (often the exact same sentence is used in adjoining sections!). Even the photographs are repeated!

Interesting, also, is the poor editing. Sentence fragments, mis-used words, non-existent words--the whole thing smacks of desperation to get enough words to make a book.

There is nothing in this book you can't find, for free, on the web.

Summary: I would have been better off with an encyclopedia!
Comment: I expected help on having these birds as pets. For $45, I only learned what I could have learned in any encyclopedia. Book was very boring and technical. Tiny too. There's SO much more a new pionus owner needs to know!
