Parrots make a wonderful alternative to the traditional pet. They?re as loving, intelligent, companionable, and entertaining as a cat or a dog but they surpass them by far in many other ways. They don?t require walks around the block, they?re perfect for apartment living, most have long life spans, and they?re full of personality. Besides, when was the last time you saw a vibrant blue cat or had a conversation with a talking dog?
Whether you are just thinking about buying a parrot or you?ve had parrots for years, Parrots for Dummies is full of helpful information about how to be the best parrot guardian you can be.

good title - |
Parrots For Dummies Review |
|
boy is this book named right but if is very helpful book i love it. |
|
Good learning tool for parrot beginners -  |
Parrots For Dummies Review |
|
This book provided me with what I expected--good information about parrots. It started out with more information than it finsihed with (wish it had provided the same throughout) but I am overall satisfied. |
|
|
Excellent Overview of Parrots. - |
Parrots For Dummies Review |
|
This book covers just about everything you might have questions about before you purchase your first bird, and also covers a good deal post-purchase, as well. Nice background info on the history of parrots kept as pets, and a moderate guide to behavior issues/training.
The author does not sugar-coat the realities of parrot ownership; she describes some of the challenges and potential issues in addition to the joys of a feathered friend. I found her writing to be very well-balanced, providing multiple views on certain subjects, and her writing style to be most enjoyable, with just a twist of humor. The snippets on her own African Grey are a delight. The author provides some basic information on most major parrots available/popular in the market today, but I recommend purchasing a book specific to the breed you're considering as well. This is not a complaint--the book is, after all, intended to provide a wealth of information on parrots in general, and it does this very well. Highly recommended for those considering their first parrot. |

Worth buying for new parrot owners - |
Parrots For Dummies Review |
|
This book was well worth buying as a quick single source for information. Some of the information can be considered "opinions" due to simple personal differences and research within the Avian community. I appreciated being able to look at the various photos of the different parrots for reference. |

IF YOU READ ONLY ONE PARROT BOOK IT SHOULD BE THIS ONE - |
Parrots For Dummies Review |
|
I bought and read this book when I was considering my first Parrot and It was perfect. The information I needed was all there, and presented in a way that was easily understood by someone who was completely unfamiliar with the needs of these wonderful creatures.
IF YOU READ ONLY ONE PARROT BOOK IT SHOULD BE THIS ONE. I have read many books on Parrots, and now have 3 birds in my family. This book taught me all I needed to decide what kind of bird was right for me and my family, if I was suited to care for a bird, and how to prepare for the responsibility of caring for Birds. I have also read many "for Dummies" books, and this one is by far the most fun to read. |
