The African Grey

This is a good book about Greys. It has lots of pictures and good info about Greys. I got every book about Greys that I could afford before I got my Timneh. I wanted to make sure I was an informed owner.

This is the bestest book I ever readed in my whole life! Yeah, that's the ticket! I have one to sell, please buy it! PLEASE! Once I sell it, I will post my actual thoughts on this wonderful wack job... I mean expert of african greys.The greatest advice in the entire world. Like, this book opened my eyes and made me think just like the bird does. Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket! I can speak African Grey now, because I read this wonderful book. Did I mention I am selling this book? Oy, chock full of information and history and will make you suicidal ... er I mean an expert!

Though I'm a first time owner of an African Grey, I've found that this is the first book that breeders themselves would buy. It gives a good overall look at care of the bird and is a must read before purchasing a Grey. I've found very few pieces of information that didn't apply to my own pet. The breeder that I purchased my Grey from was a cynic as far as books on parrots were concerned, but I brought him my own copy as he had urged me to subscribe to Bird Talk magazine. I gave him my copy which he read and found to be the best source of information for Greys outside of Bird Talk. He was very familiar with the author's pet Grey as she was an editor for Bird Talk for nine years. This book is such an invaluable guide to have that I purchased another copy for myself and recommend it for anyone with a Grey. Very easy to read too!

I thought it was an excellent book, although I also bought the Essential African Grey at the same time and the later is basically newer revised edition of the former book. Much of the text is exactly the same for less money.

I really enjoyed this book because after I read it I became very familiar with African Grey's and now i feel very comfortable around it. I would recommend this book to anyone buying an African Grey for the first time.
