A basic introduction to the care of Indian Ringneck Parrots. My husband got this book for me because we just got a Ringneck. It did not contain as much information as I would have liked. Mostly warnings against getting a parrot if you really don't have the time for them or want to be cleaning up after them.
Lists types of food, cage, and overall care they need and sicknesses they can get. Also whether you should have more than one and how much time you should spend with them. Parrots are all high maintenance and will be lonely if they are left alone all day.
Page 120 says "Why should I buy my Macaw from a reputable breeder?" ... News flash. It's not a book on Macaws its a book on IRN. The bird shown on page 63 isn't even a ringneck. The book cover advertises "mutations" which was the entire reason I bought the book. There were 3 sentences on colors available on page 11. Nothing to tell you what colors you'll get with what partings. Not including the cover, The entire book has 26 photos. There are 15 photos of green IRN's(p.4,7,9,12,15,23,45,48,53,57,66,69,92,111,116).6 photos of Blue IRN's (p.27,36,39,86,105,114). 2 photos of Lutino's (p.59,121), , 1 photo of seed(p.42), 1 photo of a cage that wouldn't work for an IRN anyway(p.49), 1 photo of a bird I can't identify(p.63). Book does NOT even mention DNA sexing. Nor does it properly identify Lutino or Albino vocabulary. She says simply yellow and white. Never even mentions lacewing, clear head, clear tail, cobalt, gray, etc... VERY disappointed. Author does not own an Indian Ringneck.
Unless you've never heard of a ring neck or a parrot before and have no common sense,this book will not tell you anything new. Mostly Linc's to other information or an amateur dictionary.
