Book Reviews of The Second-Hand Parrot
Book Review: good info on the relationship between Humans and parrots
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because a neighbor of mine wanted to get rid of her mealy amazon who's age is unknown but is apparently older than 35 years or more of age. Well to shorten the story my neighbor changed her mind when I asked if I could take him into my care but this book in my opinion has very good insight on how to better understand and take care of our already established parrot we own. Reading the stories that The Second Hand parrot provides has help me learn from others mistake and misunderstanding of parrots to be able to really care for my Ruby.Book Review: Great Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
I adopted two budgies from my local shelter. This is a great book to help you understand the behavior of any companion parrot and it also lets you know up front what you are getting into when you take on a parrot of any species. Good information to have PRIOR to taking on the exotic animals. I may just stick with my two budgies but if I do end up adopting more and bigger birds later, I know I've got a great book to refer back to and this was after reading it cover to cover.Book Review: Concise and helpful, highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has a great deal of helpful and useful information for adopting a second-hand parrot. I read it cover to cover before bringing home my re-homed bird, and the rehabilitation period is going very well. The book is very insightful and it is clear that the author has many years working with parrots of all temperaments.This book was a tremendous help to me. I highly recommend it for anyone considering adopting or buying a second-hand parrot.Book Review: If you only buy one - Buy this.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you only buy one parrot book, get this one. It gives so much detailed information on parrot behavior, and possible problems. It paints a realistic picture for the second hand parrot owner and possible problems that you may encounter, and more importantly multiple ways to fix them. I would recommend this to anyone who may be getting a parrot, already has one or is just curious on what owning a parrot may be like.Book Review: Outstanding book, fun to read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for anyone interested in getting any type of parrot. I would even recommend this book if you are getting a "first-hand" parrot because it will help you avoid creating problem behaviors in your parrot. It covers not only problem behaviors and how to solve them, but why they start in the first place so that you can avoid them. It is an entertaining read with several first-hand stories.
