Editorial Reviews
Pamela Clark
Throughout my career as a parrot owner, breeder, and avian behavior consultant, I have sought out the most current and accurate information available, which would allow me to become more effective in dealing with the birds I know. Once I learned of Sally Blanchard' theories and philosophies, I knew I had found what I was looking for. Ms. Blanchard consistently focuses on the trust building techniques for keeping parrots which serve both to prevent behavior problems in birds from occuring, but can provide solutions when they do. Long awaited by parrot lovers, this book combines her extensive knowledge with her unique and humorous artwork in a manner which serves both to entertain and inform. Whether you have a cockatiel or a large macaw, this book is an incomparable reference. I have found no other which is as complete, truthful, informative and easy to read.

Book Description
The Companion Parrot Handbook is a remarkably complete, up-to-date guide for the parrot owner, including information on everything from the fundamentals of successful parrot keeping to valuable advice on preventing and solving behavioral problems. A sampling of topics covered include choosing a parrot, skills to teach a parrot, converting parrots to a healthier diet, what to do if a parrot flies away, and how to travel with a parrot. Ms. Blanchard provides excellent guidance, gained from over 20 years as an avian behavior consultant, regarding basic behavioral concepts and the methods that can be used to live long and happily with a companion parrot. Specifically, her information and techniques serve to build trust between parrots and their owners. Illustrations, done by both Sally Blanchard and Jeff Riebe, serve to help create an exceptionally humorous and insightful publication. This book is written so that it can be read in one of two ways. It can be read from start to finish or used as a reference to look up specific topics, such as "First Aid for Broken Blood Feathers", "Towel Training", or "Excessive Screaming". It is a "must have" for anyone who has a parrot in the home or who may be thinking of adopting a first parrot.
