Summary: A must for a well behaved citizen in your avian community!
Review: Another wonderful book from Bonnie. I have found this book and My Parrot My Friend to be very helpful in developing a relationship with my african grey. I am a fairly seasoned bird owner and I read everything I can related to parrot behavior. This book is a must read for keeping your parrot in good graces with the entire family.

Summary: Es exactamente como ella dice
Review: Este es un maravilloso libro que describe el comportamiento de los loros de manera EXACTA.He aplicado sus enseñanzas con mis dos loros. Uno de ellos, un amazona aestiva, esta conmigo desde muy joven. Es alegre, amistoso y muy compañero. EL otro lo recogi con un ala rota, ya adulto, muy salvaje y muy tímido y desconfiado. Sin embargo ambos han aprendido, a traves de las tecnicas que Bonnie enseña en su libro. Y, tal como ella dice, ellos y yo llevamos una relacion mucho mas facil y mas intensa. El libro ha sido una revelación para mi, ya que a lo largo de su lectura, que he disfrutado mucho, he podido entender el comportamiento de estos maravillosos animales

Summary: If a parrot lives in your home, you need to own this book!
Review: I am very new to world of birds. I took on a completely naked, abused umbrella cockatoo with no idea of what to do or expect. All I knew was he could not stay where he was. This book was a God-send! I understand some of his behavior much better now and I know that I will refer to this book many, many, many times throught the years. (Now, if they would just come up with a book to help me fully understand my six rescue dogs!) I now have two other birds that I started with as healthy babies and I don't know what I would do without this book. Beware, though! Reading the chapter on development and weaning made me want to handraise another one, and it just might give you the same urge!!! Thanks you Ms. Doane for a tremendous help to all of us and our avian friends.

Summary: If a parrot lives in your home, you need to own this book!
Review: I'm a compulsive buyer of books on parrots, always looking for that gem of advise that will result in the perfect relationship with my birds. However, finding a good book on parrots is akin to hitting the lottery. This book towers above all the others I've read. Not only does it tell what the bird owner is anxious to hear, but the information is written in well phrased, interesting, and amusing fashion. Buy this book! Read this book!

Summary: A must for a well behaved citizen in your avian community!
Review: The bbok was well written. The author seemed knowledgeable and sincere. Birds just desire our love and approval. They need to be a wanted part of our family. This book will explain why they do some of the odd things they do. Take a step back sometime and ask yourself if you were a parrot, would you want to be taken care of and belong to you and your family? Be honest. All of us could give more of ourselves. These parrots are our lifelong companions. They will probably be around long after most of our friends, lovers amd spouses. Let's treat them with dignity, wisdom and love. <stepping off the soapbox Maggie NC

Summary: A good start!
Review: This book is very well written and can easily be used as a reference guide as well. This book lacks only in one aspect (colour photos) of actual birds since I love to look at pictures almost as much as reading the information. I would recomend this book to anyone thinking of getting a bird or someone who already has one and is acting up a bit. I haven't adopted a bird as of yet but it's only days away. (I can't wait to get the Umbrella Cockatoo home). A really great site (except it is a little negative but very informative to future Parrot owners is http://members.citynet.net/skydiver/parrots/parrots.htm. Check it out . I looked online for two months to make sure that I was picking the right bird for our family and everything you need to know is right there or there's links to it.

Summary: One of THE Best On Parrot Training!
Review: This book, the third by Bonnie Doane, is a must for the new parrot owner or for those who have had a parrot for many years. I found this book to be an excellent guide when I first got my new parrot. I made sure I researched every book I could when I first acquired my two-week old baby parrot, and this book was one of my favorites. I found it very helpful in the training & learning process of handling my parrot as it matured and got older. There are chapters on obedience skills and training techniques for adult parrots, as well as how to work with baby birds, speech training, and trick training. There are 12 chapters filled with helpful advice that you should definitely be aware of. I highly recommend this book. You should check out her other two books, "My Parrot, My Friend" and "The Parrot in Health and Illness." These are excellent books for your bird-related library in my opinion.

Review: This is a wonderful book for a new bird owner as well as an experienced owner.It is a must have for your library. It is more general then My Parrot, My Friend but is more user friendly and has alot of added information. It has useful and up to date information on training and care. This is a book every breeder should give to anyone who buys a bird.

Summary: A first rate guide
Review: This is an excellent book on the behaviour and training not only of parrots, but also macaws, cockatoos, budgerigars and other members of the parrot family. I have a 3 year old Hyacynth Macaw called Gervaise who has benefited enormously from my purchase. He never ceases to amaze me with his intelligence and agility. He is building up an impressive vocabulary and can do tricks like ringing a bell and eating seeds from my bumcrack. The fun's not all Gervaise's - as the title suggests, their company really does provide the owner with a great deal of pleasure, and this book can really enhance that pleasure.
