Amazon Parrots is a book in Barron's series of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals . These medium-size parrots are known for their playful companionship and their talking ability. Written especially to introduce inexperienced and prospective pet owners to the pleasures and duties of pet care, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals also make fine guides to pet care for older children. These heavily illustrated books are filled with helpful information on purchasing, housing, feeding, health care--and where applicable, grooming and training pets. Each book is individually written by an expert--a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. These manuals cover every popular dog and cat breed, as well as bird varieties, hamsters and other small caged animals, fish varieties for aquarium hobbyists, terrarium pets, and even exotics, such as reptiles, amphibians, and scorpions. All books have 70 or more color photos, and most also have instructive line illustrations.
Hi Folks,
I live in the western suburbs of Chicago with my photographer husband and our feathered, furred, and scaly companions. I write mostly non-fiction, but occasionally branch out into different areas. My special interests are history and ornithology (especially parrots) but I will chase after whatever catches my fancy. I love to research, and find that is my favorite part of the writing experience. Don't be surprised if my book list covers a rather odd and disjointed selection of subjects. It simply reflects my very short attention span! Stay tuned to see what's next.... gayle
