Customer Reviews

Finally I understand!

I've had cockatiels for years and just accepted their behavior as eccentric (which it is). Finally someone has shown me in a humorous way why they do some of those incomprehensable things. Cockatiels are still a little weird, but now I understand them a lot better.

Curious about your cockatiel?

If you are a recent cockatiel buyer or just want to know why your cockatiel does some curious things, this is a good book for you. I found it very helpful explaining some of the things my cockatiel does.

I never knew!

I'm a relatively new cockatiel owner, and this book offers solid information about everyday bird behavior while still being both fun and concise! My family and I often echo the title by asking "Why does our cockatiel DO that?!?" All of those questions were answered with this book.

Unbelievably Informative!

When I saw Why Do Cockatiels Do That from the comical picture on the front I thought it would just be an amusing book about cockatiels. I was wrong! This is a very informative book written in a lighthearted way. I have two cockatiels and I found out things about my birds I never knew. I couldn't understand why they didn't like to take baths, for example, and learned that they are from a more desert type area of Austrailia so it's not in them to like to bathe the way it is with parakeets. I have other books on cockatiels but this one was not only informative but fun to read.

Birds of a Feather

My nine year-old-son son has had his Cockatiel for six months. We've never had a bird before and so some of the stuff "Rosey" had been doing has made us laugh and confused us at the same time. We looked for a "help" book the family could get into together. Why Do Cockatiels Do That? was just the ticket.
