|  The
Parrot Companion: Caring for Parrots, Macaws, Budgies, Cockatiels
& More
by Rosemary Low
Parrots are loved for their intelligence, sociability,
longevity and humorous, almost-human characteristics. These same
attractive qualities demand serious consideration and commitment
when acquiring a parrot. This book provides practical knowledge
gained from an expert's decades of experience with these birds.
The author examines the 25 most common breeds, which include African
Greys, Amazons, Caiques, Conures, Cockatiels, and Budgerigars. The
data for each one compare principal characteristics such as voice
shrillness, mimicry, and potential behavioral problems. The author
emphasizes responsible ownership, with a focus on choosing the right
bird and keeping it happy and healthy. Topics include: Socializing
a parrot; safety tips; avoiding behavior problems; finding an escaped
bird; step-by-step training; trimming flight feathers vs. clipping
wings; the right equipment; feather plucking, biting, and screaming;
feeding, nutrition, health, and grooming; and re-homing a parrot.
This comprehensive reference is filled with color photos and will
be welcomed by new and long-time parrot owners.
