This is a really lovely book. Clearly written, easy to read, littered with photographs (monochrome) and amusing cartoons. Every chapter is clearly laid out, with subtitles and defined sections. Every chapter ends with recap notes.
This book covers all aspects of parrot training in fair depth, from basic toilet training and handling to eradicating anti social behaviours and more advanced speech and tricks.
There is also a large portion focused on the parrot's natural behaviour, what to expect from your pet, and what to do when it all goes wrong.
Parrots are amazing creatures, they are beautiful and intelligent, they are also very demanding and this book pulls no punches in detailing the possible pitfalls of an avian family member, as well as containing touching and entertaining anecdotes sharing the positive aspects.
I would recommend this book to anyone considering bringing a parrot (of any sort) into the home, as a valuble reference for even a seasoned parrot owner which will help you learn more and get more out of your relationship with your parrot, and as an absolute lifesaver for anyone living with a disturbed, angry or miserable bird.
I don't often give 5 stars, this one deserves it!
