Book Reviews of The Parrot Who Owns Me: The Story of a Relationship
Book Review: A Must-Read for Parrot Enthusiasts!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone interested in hookbill behavior will appreciate Professor Burger's beautifully written, comprehensive gem. It was obviously a labor of love, and that was what I found so refreshing and reassuring. This is not a boring, cold, clinical account of Tiko's behavior, devised to support a scientist's ideas about why parrots bite, pout, communicate, display, flirt and play. It is a series of astute observations that ultimately show the reader we are all part of the same flock. Dr. Burger shares everything with her readers, from Tiko's diet, tantrums, routines and surroundings to accounts of Tiko's attempts to mate with her (and the importance of her patient understanding of his demonstrations). When you finish The Parrot Who Owns Me, you will understand the effort required for a parrot and a human to bond--and the awe and wonder that result when the bond is successful.
