Editorial Reviews

Review

informative and, on occasion, amusing...a comfortable and easy-to-follow read. -- Veterinary Nursing

Product Description

Parrots are sensitive creatures whose intelligence is often grossly underrated and, as a result, frequently exhibit behavior that is misunderstood by their owners. This reference guide to owning a parrot answers questions about problems and tensions between these feathered creatures and their owners. The basic elements of parrot psychology are explained, as are environmental factors that can cause biting, screaming, and feather plucking. Case studies of specific relationships are used to illustrate both good and bad examples of the pet/owner relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book for all, June 16, 2003

By	Roberto Rossi Longhi "rossilon" (Rome, RM Italy) - See all my reviews

To the person who wrote the review stating about the Back remedies I say that homeopatic remedies can be a valid alternative medical treatment in some cases, (it is even in people many times) and Rosemary Low states that one should be "reffered to a homeopatic vet", and not just administer different essences as one please to a sick parrot. Closing this parenthesis I think this book is an excellent reading for new parrot owners who want to learn the most on how to keep their new friend happy and healthy, for old owners who want to understand some behavioural motivation of their parrot,and lastly for breeders who sell hand fed babies and should therefore understand parrot education and much more (hopefully to the advantage of their potential buyers).

4.0 out of 5 stars Why does my parrot...? Good advice, nice format, January 3, 2001

By	Marie Josee Remy (Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a great book with excellent basic information and advice written for the PET parrot owners. The format is especially helpful for finding the appropriate information quickly. I found the chapter on different species profiles to be the least interesting; It could have been omitted. Still, I consider this book a "must" for all first-time pet parrot owners and those who do not have a lot of time to research and read on parrot behavior.

1.0 out of 5 stars Recommends useless quack treatments, December 23, 2002

By A Customer

This book does a great disservice to pet owners by its endorsement and recommendation of unproven alternative treatments.

"Bach" remedies contain alchohol and have never been tested or proven effective as treatment for any medical or behavioral problems by any recognized scientific study.
