Summary

"While parrots have a historical reputation for being a pirate's best friend, in the modern-day U.S.--where birds are the nations third most popular household pet-thousands of landlubbers are in on the act! And thats 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.

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. Pick your perfect parrot -- Devour the latest on nutrition -- Tame and train -- Make the perfect home."--Amazon.com
