Book Reviews of The Second-Hand Parrot
Book Review: Second hand birds
Summary: 5 Stars
I run a second hand parrot rescue and I must say this book is really on the ball. So many times people don't really know WHY is my bird acting like that, Does this bird hate me etc. This book lends knowledge to the behavior and how to handle a rehomed bird. I recommend this book to anyone considering a pet bird, especially a rehomed one.Book Review: Not Second Rate
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very helpful book for my husband and me as we had just adopted a second-hand parrot and we had not idea what we were doing. This book was recommended by our Veterinarian and we really rely on it. Thank you so much for all the info.Book Review: good for reference library on larger birds
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed and will keep this book as a quick reference.
Good to know that there is an entire bird oriented community which I have just recently become aware of.
Good book would certainly not hesitate in recommending it.
Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is very informative, practical and fun to read. Little long but textbook perfect for what I needed!Book Review: I have 4 first hand parrots
Summary: 4 Stars
Parrots become second-hand for many reasons:
(many owners get rid of them in the 1st couple
of months)
1. they are cute and cuddly when you get them but
they grow up different.
2. they do not eat just seeds any more. They eat
pellets/fruits/veggies. $$
3. they are very messy.
4. it is very expensive to take them to a bird vet.
$$$
5. they liked you when they were little but now they
like your husband better. They hurt your feelings.
6. they require special spacious cages.
7. they can bite hard..IT HURTS.
8. they make a lot of NOISE.
(NOTE: these are my thoughts..not Mattie's)
What ever the problem MATTIE SUE will tell you
how to handle it. She knows EVERYTHING there is
to know. I heard her speak at a bird club meeting
in OKLA CITY several years ago and she is
wonderful.
DO NOT get a parrot if you are not into it for the
long term.
It is a very short book. (too short for the $).
