Here is a volume that deserves a place on every bird owner's bookshelf. It combines the author's warm, personal narratives with thought-provoking coverage of little-discussed topics relating to parrot care. They include the future of the parrot species in a world of shrinking natural habitats, and the hormonal changes a parrot undergoes in the course of its life cycle. The author also offers insights that explain the sometimes mysterious actions of parrots. He illustrates factual information about parrots with examples and stories drawn from real life. Readers will find an entertaining and informative combination of scientific fact and instructions on the daily care of parrots with humorous anecdotes. Illustrated with full-color photos.
