Repeat after me: Parrots aren't just for pirates!
While parrots have a historical reputation for being a pirate's best
friend, in the modern-day U.S.--where birds are the nation's third most
popular household pet-thousands of landlubbers are in on the act! And
that's not surprising--parrots are as affectionate, friendly, and fun to
be with as a dog or cat. They are also relatively low-maintenance, with
no rude 5 a.m. awakenings with demands for food or punishing walks.
Renowned avian care and behavior consultant Nikki Moustaki is your
friendly guide to the colorful world of this intelligent and chatty pet.
In this book, you'll be introduced to the vibrant diversity of the
parrot world, which covers a wide variety of Psittacidae family members,
including macaws, cockatiels, and parakeets. You'll also learn the best
ways to choose, care for, and love your resplendently feathered
companion.

gold you spent on it a thousand times over!
