Parrots for Dummies

I am really impressed with this book. As the new mom of a Blue & Gold Macaw I have been reading everyting I can get my hands on. By far this is the most generally informative book that covers all aspects of parrot ownership. I would certainly recommend this as the first book you buy for your collection

Whether you are a novice or a "seasoned" bird caretaker, this book is for you. It has information on how properly house your bird to what type of foods to feed it. Great reading put in language everyone can understand!

If you have any thoughts of owning a parrot or if you are an experienced parrot owner, you can't do without this Awesome Book of Knowledge on our feathered friends. Nikki Moustaki answered questions I didn't even know to ask! I've owned African Greys for several years and the book explained behavioral patterns and habits and how to deal with these so you get results that are great for you and your bird. It is packed full of excellent diet information that is invaluable for proper feeding and the health of your bird. YOU AND YOUR BIRD DESERVE THIS BOOK! THANK YOU NIKKI!

Considering a parrot/cockatoo? Already a new parrot in your life? Even the experienced parrot owner will get something out of this book, possibly be reminded of a few things. Got a question? Bet you will find an answer here. Do not hesitate to get this book! Cockatoo~Momma

This is my first "for Dummies" book and I was extremely impressed with this text by Nikki Moustaki. She brings real life experience and knowledge and puts it plain and simple. Her real life stories are short and sweet, which is good, as I wanted a book to give me the details and the pros and cons on all aspects of parrot companionship. This book hits the nail on the head. If your are considering purchasing a parrot, read this book. If you already own a parrot, read this book. If you're looking for cute candy coated stories on how wonderful parrot ownership is, without the "dark" side of it, this is not your book. Nikki Moustaki presents all sides of parrot ownership and lets you choose whether taking on a possible lifetime companion bird is right for you.
