5.0 out of 5 stars Worth wile reading, May 8, 1999

By	jseguin@redrose.net (United State) - See all my reviews

I have read a couple of books on the same subject (African Grey Parrots) and this so far is the most up to date book with also the most information out of the books I have read. It has a special chapter on Understanding Grey Parrots that is very helpful. It is information packed with such chapters as 1. Considerations Before You Buy 2. Buying And Housing A Parrot 3. Keeping And Caring For An African Grey Parrot 4. Diet 5. Diseases And How To Keep Your Parrot Healthy, among other chapters. I also enjoyed reading about "Partnership Between Bird And Human." It was a unique section. This book is filled full of informative chapters and high quality color pictures. If you own an African Grey Parrot, or are looking to own an African Grey Parrot this is a book for you. I bought this book to research African Grey parrots as pets and this book helped me to decide to buy one as a pet. Because of this book I am now an African Grey Parrot owner. This book also helped equipped me to be able to take care of an African Grey Parrot. This is a great book !

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book!, June 23, 1997

By A Customer

This book is MUST reading for African Grey owners!The information is just right in breadth anddetail. Very important information is covered which bird owners need to be aware of since African Grays are very intelligent birds. I give a copy of this book to everyone who purchases a Gray from me!

2.0 out of 5 stars OUT OF DATE INFOMATION!!, July 2, 2001

By	Rivera (United States) - See all my reviews

This book has some good info if you dig really deep and know what you are looking for. It talks about things to do to your AG that are out of date, and could be bad to your birds health. It also speaks of taking the birds out of the jungle, which does not happen very much any more, if at all. If you want a good book about african greys, look at the copyright date, it says a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Outdated Information, but Some Good Information too.
This book is obviously dated as it was written back when wild caught birds were available due to the fact that domestic raised birds were difficult to find. Read more
