Great ideas!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life (Paperback)
I loved some of the ideas in this book, and the bird playstand instuctions alone are worth the price of the book. Maybe if you've had your parrot for years, it might not be the book for you;however, to a novice owner...very helpful. Well written with a touch of humor, I highly recommend!!

Even 'old-timers' will find inspiration,

This review is from: Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life (Paperback)
Having been graced with companion parrots for more than 15 years, I was worried this text might be more geared toward the new parrot owner, and I would find it elementary. Not so. There are numerous hand-made toys and play areas in my home, but I found the ideas in this book very inspiring. Sometimes it takes new eyes to spark the creative juices, and this book did just that. Thanks, ladies! 35 of 37 people found the following review helpful

Many good ideas....,
By Dianne Foster "Di" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life (Paperback)
If you think you can bring a parrot home and toss him in a cage and throw him a few vegetables and seeds everyday, and he will entertain you in return, guess again. Parrots are smart, and you are setting yourself up for a very large hassle if you don't take the time to find out just how smart they are (they can talk and understand what they say). D'Arezzo and Shannon-Nunn reveal just how smart these birds are by providing a very good overview of what bird owners need to do to keep their pet parrots entertained. That's right, the bird may entertain you, but the price you will pay or suffer the consequences is entertaining the bird. PARROT TOYS AND PLAY AREAS includes all sorts of toys-noisemakers, destructible and non-destructible toys, puzzles, preeners, push-`n-pull toys and plenty of other items that will lead you to believe you don't own a parrot, you own a three-year-old going on 12. Not all toys must be hand-made. The bird owner can find toys ready made at a local pet supply outlet. Some items made for other purposes also serve as parrot toys. Dog rawhide, whisk brooms, and cotton mop heads can be purchased at your local grocery or pet store. Wireless clothes pins are a little bit more difficult to locate, but can be found in craft stores. Plastic chains can be found in hardware stores. The list of toys provides a clue. Parrots like to dismantle things. D'Arezzo and Shannon-Nunn suggest if you don't provide them things they can destroy you can expect them to destroy other things-like your furniture for example. Bringing a parrot home is not so different from bringing a puppy home. 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Parrot-Toys & Play Areas,
By Jeannette Cadorette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life (Paperback)
I am an owner of 5 parrots. I especially love golden rule #6 and I exercise this daily with my birds (patience and understanding with creativity). Having a guide and help with daily issues allows us to have a happier bird and less behavioral problems. Overall, I appreciate this book and its pratical approach. The steps are easy to follow when making toys and play areas. I love the humor and cartoons that are included and feel that all suggestions are at a level anyone can accomplish with ease and patience. I would like to thank the authors for bringing us a very down to earth book for parrot owners. Jeannette Cadorette Colorado |
