Pictures DO say a 1000 words - this is a great book!, April 26 2000
After thinking about purchasing an African Grey for almost a year, I picked up this book at the recommendation of the owner of an exotic bird shop - "an excellent overview of the African Grey." I wanted to get an education before deciding to purchase a pet that could well out-live me. Responsibility equal or greater than to being a parent (since most children eventually move out of the nest...)!The book provided an excellent overview of this fabulous bird species, including their history, tips on raising, feeding, housing, breeding, caring for them etc. The book was very easy to read and full of very useful information. The book is printed on quality paper, with a quality binding. The professionally taken photographs are outstanding. The printing technique of the book makes them look like actual glossy photographs - glued into the book! As a bibliophile with thousands of books, and an amateur photographer - I can honestly say I've never encountered such a well-printed book! The pictures alone are worth the price. The book positively influenced my decision to add another member to my family - an African Grey Parrot.
