Parrot Books!!
What parrot books, magazines, videos, etc does eveyone own?
What have you read but don't own?
What did you think of the books you have read? What parts did you like? What did you not agree with? Would you recommend the book to others?
This post has a few purposes- to see who has the most parrot books (you will get a cookie if you win!), to review the books so others can find good parrot books, and so I can make a poll on parrot books. I want the poll to have different catagories like "Best Parrot Care Book", "Best Book for African Greys", "Best Behavior Book", "Best Magazine", etc. So list all your books here and if you have the time tell us what you thought of them!
