Customer Reviews

Good Basic Infomation

This book provides a good general overview of caring for an african grey. You'll need other books that go into more depth for behavior management, etc., but this book is a good starting point. While the book is current and up to date for the most part, the author does recommend giving your parrot a nut and bolt as a toy. Surprisingly, she does not warn that you must be careful that it does not contain zinc. The nut and bolt would have to be made of stainless steel to be safe, otherwise your bird could get heavy metal poisoning.

Good book, basic info

If you are looking for a very good beginers book on african grey parrots, this book is for you. Gives great information about food, ilnessess, etc etc. I just wish it gave more information about the size of cages and other cage stuff. The pictures are great, and the book is very easy to understand. Up-to-date information is inculded which was very nice. I would recondmend this book to people who are interested in buying an african grey parrot.

African Greytness

This is a great beginners book, which gives you all the pertinent information needed to buy, train and enjoy your pet parrot.

Excellent book for new owners

The book was very informative. It is the revised edition in softcover of The African Grey A Guide To A Happy and Healthy Pet. The text is bsically the same and less expensive.
