More About the Author

› Visit Amazon's Gayle Soucek Page

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but clear with all the essential info, April 12, 2002

fulrug - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Guide to Owning a Quaker Parrot (Paperback)

If you are oriented towards a quaker but don't know much about parrots yet, this book is the best to have a quick resume of everything is important to know. Takes little time to read it all but at the end your ideas will be a lot clearer, you'll know the essential to make your decision about getting a companion quaker or not; and in case you've decided to go for it, the essential to take care of your quaker and make it healthy and happy. In a second time you can deepen in your knowledge with more complex (but potentially confusing for a novice) books on the subject.
The text is quite objective about the level of attention and cares they require but... *beware*, the photos are so endearing that you are not much likely to resist the urge to get one of this cute and intelligent birds right away and start cuddling it...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good -- but not for experienced bird owner.
If you are researching the Quaker, as a previous bird owner, this may not be the book for you. However, if you are a first time bird owner, I would give it 5 stars. Read more
