In depth look at hand feeding and care of baby birds.......2005-07-10

Matthew Vriends HAND-FEEDING AND RAISING BABY BIRDS is of some use to me although I prefer Gayle Souck's PARROT BREEDER'S ANSWER BOOK. Vriend's book is not nearly as comprehensive, he goes deep whereas Soucek goes broad. However, I appreciate the detailed sections on the selection, care and maintenance of incubators including photos of the various types of incubators as well as text describing air filtration systems (`still air' and ventilation), automatic egg turners versus doing it yourself, and temperature, light and humidity considerations. Interestingly, neither author cites the other even tho Barron's produced both books and they are somewhat complementary.

As well as incubation, Vriends book covers feeding in great detail with numerous photos of very small chicks being hand fed. I like this book because I needed more in-depth information about actual feeding practices, including a discussion of the different nutritional needs of different birds who require formulas. Whether you are raising companion birds or you are an animal rehabilitator/rescuer you will probably find this book useful.

OK book.......2004-03-30

This book was OK. It talks about all pet birds, so it really only gives a little bit of information about each. If you are looking to know about handfeeding ONE certain kind of bird, then I would look for a different book. The pictures are very cute though.

Where was the editor on this book?.......2003-10-02

If you have patience, you can get a good "overview" of handfeeding pet baby birds here..

If not.. I suggest you go elsewhere.

Dr.Vriends thoughts are disorganized, self-congratulatory, and all over the place. He could of used an intelligent editor here.

Each chapter has information that is right out of the authors head-- instead of organizing laying of eggs, incubating, feeding, etc. in concise chapters. The chapters repeat lots of information. I found it very hard to follow-- trying to turn forward and back to other chapters with "sort of" the same topic.

I respect Dr. Vriends expertise on most everything...but, the points on this book are not organized.

What if you don't want to feed the baby birds when they first hatch? What if you want to socialize them while still letting the mom and dad feed? There are lots of places here where I left scratching my head-- and re-reading the convoluted syntax in this book asking "what is he trying to say here"?

This book definately is written from the standpoint of out of the incubator, into the breeders hands...

Dr. Vriends, you have more experience on this to share, don't you? Too professional a book...

A good book, but.........2001-02-06

It's a good book and easy to read, but it's more focussed on professional breeding than it is for people who just bought a bird and want more information about raising and hand-feeding. Even though it's good reading material.

A great how to on hand-feeding........2000-01-26

This book takes the novice from the very beginning. It covers every aspect of handfeeding. Concise, easy to read, with great colour pictures. I would recommend this book to the beginning handfeeder as well as those who are experienced.

Book Description

This brand new book by the Dinky experts benefits from a further eighteen years of research and collecting which has brought to light more information as well as extensive and previously lost articles from the '30s.

Need for the book.......2007-05-15

As beginning collector it was difficult to get an insight in what exactly was produced, when and what varieties exist.
This book fills the gap to a large extend, providing a lot of information. The illustrations/lay out are/is sometimes what eratic, and one example of a factory drawing would be nice, but so many eats up a lot of space, which might have been used for other purposes. However, the provides an excellent overview of all aspects of Dinky, and it is well worth its money.

This book is the Bible of Dinky Toys as far as I am concerned.
A must for all Dinky Toys Collectors

Good but incomplete.......2006-08-03

No one knows Dinky like Mike Richardson, that's for sure. Plenty of detail and great photos on all the models included---the problem is that this only covers the British models and omits the French models from the same era. That's like writing a book about baseball but only including the American league. Good, but incomplete.

A walk down memory lane........2005-08-12

Page after page in full colour showing 8 Dinky models per page.This book is one of the best books on Dinky toys without buying the biggest book.Plenty of photos throughout make this book pure enjoyment.Collectors and enthusiasts will love this book.Good value too.

Book Description

Do You See What I See? offers leaders, managers, and human resource professionals a unique and practical resource for understanding the behavioral subtleties and nuances that affect the retention of people of color within organizations. Through the imaginative use of a fable, authors Janice Fenn and Chandra G. Irvin are able to show different points of view of leaders, managers, and newly recruited POC. In the fable a mirror comes to life and offers insightful reflections that help executives and managers understand what it takes to retain POC in a highly competitive marketplace. Step by step the authors clearly show what happened, what should have happened, conclusions that were drawn, and conclusions that should have been drawn. The fable offers the opportunity for leaders and managers to identify and address similar issues in their real life organizations.
