This book helped me understand the tried and true recipe for healthy pet birds – whatever their species would be.
It uses readily available scientific data to discuss holistic solutions that anyone can take advantage of, and focuses on preventing (and reversing) disease by establishing a series of foods for building good health and wellbeing, while avoiding common toxic exposures.
Furthermore, it exposes the old perspectives on bird caring that are proven to be harming our birds and causing a malnutrition epidemic.
