Rating:  Summary: Excellent and Very informative for such a small book! Review: I personally found Katy's recommendations for the eclectus parrot to be right on. It is nice to read an "easy to read" book with so much wonderful information. Katy does a great job of clearly describing the personality characteristics of the beautiful but sometimes independent eclectus parrot. This is a book that I will give any new owner of one of my babies because it does such a great job of describing and informing about this beautiful and great companion parrot. If you are looking at getting an eclectus this book is a must - being [an inexpensive] book, but loaded with great information - what is the loss if you decide that an eclectus isn't for you. Thanks Katy for writing such a right on book!

Rating:  Summary: 5 Star Photos, Basic Info Review: I read this book after having already read "Guide to a Well-Behaved Parrot" plus some other parrot books in preparation for bringing home an eclectus. While I found the photos gorgeous, I found the information pretty basic and repetitive of what I'd already read. I think Sally Blanchard's "Companion Parrot Handbook" is much more informative about parrot behavior and care in general.
Rating:  Summary: 5 Star Photos, Basic Info Review: Im soon to be a new parent of a Male Eclectus!!! Get this book if you are going to be getting an Eclectus Parrot! It has most of the information you will need, for before you bring your baby home! I did NOT know that certain things are DEADLY to them,...example teflon (stickless cookware, or self-cleaning ovens). I now know that my bird will be, safe, secure, happy, and healthy! Also, check out [website], go to the message board. There you will find all sorts of great info too! Everyone on that board owns an Eclectus, I give that site 6 stars out of 5 !!!! Check it out, but having this book on hand will also help!!! :)
Rating:  Summary: Great Pictures ....But off the mark Review: Informative, nice photos, clear. Great for the new owner along with Second Hand Parrot (if you adopt one-which you should).
Rating:  Summary: Best Eclectus Book So Far Review: There have only been 3 other books written about the Eclectus parrot, and all of them are outdated and focus mainly on breeding. Ms. McElroy has done an excellent job in gathering the latest information for the pet Eclectus owner and presenting it in an easy to read format. This book should be required reading for all new Eclectus owners. It will answer all of your basic questions.
Rating:  Summary: A wonderful insight to Eclectus behavior Review: This little book provides more insight into Eclectus behavior than I have seen anywhere else. Eclectus are different from other parrots in many ways, and someone who isn't aware of this might purchase one for its beauty alone. The chapters on finding a reliable breeder and keeping a pet Eclectus healthy are especially useful.
