Customer Reviews

If you have a parrot this book is essential.
I purchased my first parrot 6 weeks ago as a baby, and I have found this book really usefull in understanding him. It tells you in detail how to treat your parrot, how to maintain your authority with the parrot, how to fuss them and play with them. It doesn't just say 'play with your parrot', it explains exactly how, which is important if you are not used to handling birds.The book covers alot that is not relevent to me - behavior problems, but by reading the advice anyway hopefully I can prevent problems. The book is abit hard to read sometimes, hard to understand exactly what they mean. It is the sort of book you should keep handy and use it for reference. I highly recommend it, it is a real thrill when you read in the book that they like to be fussed under their chin, so you go and do it and they love it and ask for more and more.

Excellent book. BUY IT!!!
I thought this was a wonderful book. It is written in a way which makes it difficult to stop reading. There are many wonderful pictures in the book which even make it better. However, if you seriously intend to train you parrot I would advise 'Parrot training: a guide to taming and gentling your parrot' by bonnie Monro Boane. This entire books deals with training your parrot step by step. Both books are woth buying!!!

The one book you need to understand parrot behaviour
Covers all areas to help the reader understand all aspects of parrot behaviour and how to put right less desirable behaviour, but most of all how you can both make the most out of each others company.
