"This is a very impressive book because it addresses so many areas that allow pet parrot owners and breeders of these highly intelligent birds to improve their parrots quality of life in captivity. It deals with all the relevant areas in a clear and well written manner giving sound reasons supporting all the advice in this excellent publication. Rosemary has travelled extensively around the world where parrots are in their native habitat and learnt a great deal about their life in the wild, this knowledge gives her the ability to inform us of the most appropriate ways to do the very best for our charges in captivity. Cleverly divided into seven complimentary parts that allow the owner to find the information they require quickly and easily, it could be regarded as a reference book. However, as it contains a great deal of personal reports built on the authors extensive visits to their habitats this adds so much more to the publication and allows the passion that Rosemary has for the members of this large family of birds to shine through. This book is a treasure chest of information on every aspect of parrot life and care in our homes and aviaries and is essential reading for anyone thinking of purchasing a parrot. I particularly liked the advice about not clipping the wings of parrots. The book is well designed and the drawings by Mandy Beekmans compliment the text.

This is a very good publication and is I am sure one of the best books written by a highly competent writer." -- Les Rance (unedited) in the Magazine of the Parrot Society UK, December 2014.
