Book Reviews of The Second-Hand Parrot

Book Review: Great Resource
Summary: 5 Stars

I adopted two budgies from my local shelter. This is a great book to help you understand the behavior of any companion parrot and it also lets you know up front what you are getting into when you take on a parrot of any species. Good information to have PRIOR to taking on the exotic animals. I may just stick with my two budgies but if I do end up adopting more and bigger birds later, I know I've got a great book to refer back to and this was after reading it cover to cover.

Book Review: Concise and helpful, highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has a great deal of helpful and useful information for adopting a second-hand parrot. I read it cover to cover before bringing home my re-homed bird, and the rehabilitation period is going very well. The book is very insightful and it is clear that the author has many years working with parrots of all temperaments.This book was a tremendous help to me. I highly recommend it for anyone considering adopting or buying a second-hand parrot.

Book Review: If you only buy one - Buy this.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you only buy one parrot book, get this one. It gives so much detailed information on parrot behavior, and possible problems. It paints a realistic picture for the second hand parrot owner and possible problems that you may encounter, and more importantly multiple ways to fix them. I would recommend this to anyone who may be getting a parrot, already has one or is just curious on what owning a parrot may be like.

Book Review: Outstanding book, fun to read
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book for anyone interested in getting any type of parrot. I would even recommend this book if you are getting a "first-hand" parrot because it will help you avoid creating problem behaviors in your parrot. It covers not only problem behaviors and how to solve them, but why they start in the first place so that you can avoid them. It is an entertaining read with several first-hand stories.

Mattie Sue and Dianalee have done it again! Put together an excellent book for all of us who have taken in second-hand parrots.

I highly recomend all bird lovers read this book, if they have a second-hand bird or not.
