1.0 out of 5 stars Allowing parrots to fly free outdoors is stupid and foolish., October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Julius: The Perfectly Pesky Pet Parrot (Paperback)

This book had potential as a good book for children -- Until the child who owned the parrot, at the advice of his veterinarian, allowed the parrot to fly outside without restraint. This allowed the parrot many adventures, but at great risk to the parrot. I bought this book to give to my local library so children would have the opportunity to get to know about the joys of having parrots as pets, not to be fed misinformation. Knowing that a veterinarian would never ever give this extremely poor advice because of the danger it would pose to the parrot, I am very concerned that children would, if they had access to a pet bird, think it ok to free it.

My 2 boys, age 8 and 10, love this book, this has been their (our)favorite book to read in the last year or two...In response to the previous reviewer, I have never owned a bird, but did a search on allowing birds to fly freely, and there are several owners that actually encourage this, and it looks like it's not so far fetched after all...
