Reviews For Bird Talk Magazine


Reliable Info, if Repetitive

I read Bird Talk magazine for years as a child and teenager. I devoured every issue. The magazine is diverse in content and well laid out, and it emphasizes a different kind of bird each month.

There is a section for readers to write in with questions and have a veterinarian or other qualified person respond. I enjoyed having a different bird highlighted each month. Behavior, temperament, size, country of origin, diet, breeding habits, and other aspects were covered.
The reason why I stopped subscribing is that eventually the articles became repetitive--how many different articles on feather-plucking can people write? I still find it a reliable source of information for all tropical birds, and some other aviary birds such as doves. There are sections in the back for upcoming show dates around the country, an extensive advertising section for breeders, and a cute page devoted to birds photographed by their owners in cute poses.

Bird Talk taught me just about everything I needed to know about food, diet, breeding, taming, training, exercise, purchasing, housing, and having a vet look after my birds. I've owned two lovebirds, one cockatiel, and six parakeets. It is readable by young people and adults. There is usually a centerfold featuring the bird of the month that I would pull out and decorate my room with as a kid. Casual pet owners, breeders, and serious bird show people will benefit from reading Bird Talk. I still believe it is the best magazine of its kind.

If birds could talk, what would they say?



While I do not own a bird, I am an avid reader, and have often perused this magazine. This is easy to do with this magazine since it was created for both novice and knowledgeable readers alike. Furthermore, Bird Talk covers a wide species of birds. It is dedicated to keeping its readers up to date and informed about a bird?s nutrition, training, grooming and caging. While these subjects may sound dull, Bird Talk has a way of staying both helpful and reliable while being entertaining. So if birds could talk, I believe they would tell you that this magazine is a squawk above the rest.

Bird Talk-A Magazine For All Birds?

I have subscribed to Bird Talk since 2/2000 and seen the magazine in pet stores for many years prior to subscription. When I saw the magazine in the pet shop I felt it was well written and informative. And it is. For the owners of parrots.I love finches.I can count on one finger (ok, maybe two) the number of articles that have been printed about finches over the past seven months. I can count on all the rest of my fingers and toes the articles that concerned parrots as well as the number of times they have been featured on the cover.How can Bird Talk claim to be a magazine for all birds?
