Grey parrots belong to the family of the so-called 'true parrots', which have the scientific name 'Psittacidae'. However, the family of cockatoos ('Cacatuidae'), which also belongs to the parrot order, is to be distinguished from this. Grey parrots are considered to be extremely linguistically gifted and intelligent. As a result, they have become extremely popular pets, enhancing and enriching the lives of adults and children alike. Although they are only living in the wild in Africa, grey parrots can be found as pets in many different countries and on all continents. Written by breeders, veterinarians, and other pet experts, these photo-illustrated books instruct on housing, feeding, healthcare, and where applicable, grooming. Titles devoted to dog breeds also discuss exercise needs and training methods. Barron's Pet Handbooks resemble Barron's alternate series, the Pet Owners' Manuals, but each of the Handbooks has a larger page count and includes more detailed advice and instruction.
