Product Description
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. Parrots for Dummies is packed full of useful tips, hints, reminders, and warnings about everything related to parrots and their care, including: - Picking a parrot
- Bringing a new parrot home
- Parrot behavior made simple
- Taming and training your bird
- Travel tips
Author Nikki Moustaki, avian care and behavior consultant and author of Parakeets for Dummies, gives you all of her experienced advice about owning, caring for, and loving parrots. She draws on her professional knowledge as well as her personal familiarity with the bird to show you how to make the most of your parrot-guardian relationship. She includes information on: - Purchasing and adopting a parrot
- Proper housing and food
- Parrot illnesses and diseases
- Correcting behavioral problems
- Living in a multiple parrot household
- Breeding and showing parrots
In addition to all the help and guidance, Parrots for Dummies comes with a full-color insert with pictures of over 25 different kinds of parrots to help you choose a new pet that catches your eye or find your existing pet’s nearest relation.

I liked this book, 2010-03-29
I've had pet birds for twenty years or so. I learned some things I didn't know from this book. Great beginner's book. Great book for anyone who has parrots or just wants to learn.
 Good learning tool for parrot beginners, 2009-11-16
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.
good title, 2009-12-08
boy is this book named right but if is very helpful book i love it.
I like the pictures, everthing else is okay., 2010-08-10
It's definitely a beginner parrot owner's book but for someone that wants to learn more about parrots than just the basics, than this book (along with every other parrot) should not be the only book you purchase or use as a reference. There will always be new information discovered.
Excellent book, 2010-07-04
Well written. Covers all aspects of purchasing a parrot. Very glad I bought this book. Do not hesitate, this will be a reference book for you.
