Book Reviews of Companion Parrot Handbook
Book Review: Read it once
Summary: 3 Stars
Great consultant, some excellent ideas & concepts. But read other things too, she is not the only authority. She sure wastes lots of pages with nonsense ads that are (I guess) supposed to be funny. The term bappy is so nauseatingly cute I don't know how anyone could invent it, let alone actually use it. As far as I know, noboby does except the author of this book.
Summary of Companion Parrot Handbook
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.Birds Books
