The Healthy Bird Cookbook: A Lifesaving Nutritional Guide & Recipe Collection

My daughter is the bird-enthusiast in the house and she has LOVED this book. Her budgies and cockatiel are so happy their human-mama received this for Christmas.

This book is all right but outdated. There are some ingredients in there that are not the best for birds, such as brown sugar. I just left those ingredients out when making the recipe.

After my six year old Blue Crown Conure started feather plucking I sought help from my Avian Vet. My bird was feather plucking for about six months and I thought it was caused in a change in the family, my eldest son had moved back into my house after a divorce. My Vet recomended this book as a help in changing my bird's diet from a mainly seed diet to a healthy one. Even my Vet was not sure if the diet change would stop the feather plucking she said the habit might have been established, or it could be caused by psychological problems. It has been about 6 months now and my birds chest feathers have grown back mostly which is wonderful. My birds health has improved immensely and I have lent out the book to some of my bird owning friends. A couple have gotten their own copy after trying the new diet . It really will prolong the life of your bird to follw the guidelines in this book. The Avian community needs more books like this one for the sake of our feathered friends.

I'm looking forward to trying some of these recipes. My bird, likes treats and pellets, and bananas and grapes. Hopefully I can find ways to get veggies into him.

My Senegal has enjoyed the foods made from this book. I feel I'm finally giving him the nutrition he needs to stay healthy.We've been having problems with feather picking and when we ruled out exercise, toys, humidity and attention deficits one of the last things we could attribute it to was diet. Since I've started to make him varied foods from this book I've noticed a distinct change in his attitude and energy level...he just seems happier. Guess I would be too if I didn't have to eat the same thing everyday.Anyway, thanks to the author for thinking these recipes up.

Wish I had this book 20 years ago. I could have prolonged my bird’s health and happiness.

This cookbook provides many recipe options for healthy feeding of picky birds

This should be a part of every pet bird's book library. Birds like a variety and this is a great book to have on hand. I have 2 other recipe books and this one is a great addition. I have conures, and one very picky green cheek conure. I have tried the Birdie Breakfast, Birdie Cereal, South of the border muffins, and a few other recipes. I must say they love them (even my picky guy) and I think they're tasty for humans. I would highly recommend this book!

Great book

Only trouble is I can't get most of the ingredients in this country.
