Publisher Comments:

An in-depth guide to overcoming common problem behaviors in parrots.

Parrots are among the most highly intelligent creatures kept as pets. They are capable of forming very close and rewarding relationships with their handlers. However, it takes a lot of time on a daily basis to ensure that the parrot is content and mentally stimulated. Otherwise, the unhappy bird may develop a repertoire of problem behaviors, such as biting, screaming and feather-plucking.

In this definitive reference book for the hundreds of thousands of parrot owners, a top parrot behavioral consultant explains how best to keep a captive bird in a domestic environment so that the pet will thrive, and reveals what to do to overcome and prevent problem behaviors.

This authoritative book is organized into the following sections:

Parrots in the WildParrot BiologyDifferent Types of ParrotsAcquiring a BirdUnderstanding BehaviorTraining Your BirdYour Parrot's HomePreventing and Solving Behavioral Problems — overcoming behaviors such as biting, screaming, self-mutilation, nervousness and destructivenessProblem-solving.

Synopsis:

Parrots are long lived, highly intelligent, extremely social and require mental stimulation. This comprehensive reference, by a top parrot behavioral consultant, explains how to help a parrot thrive and prevent, or overcome, problem behaviors.
