The parrot is now one of themost popular pet birds, and bird-keepers are becoming increasingly ambitious in the varieties and numbers they keep. In The Ultimate Parrot, editor Barrett Watson has recruited a star-studded panel of experts to give the most comprehensive advice to date on caring for parrots. The parrot is traced back to its wild state, and parrot habitats are examined in order to give a better idea of the pet parrot's requirements. Parrot behavior comes under the microscope, with a fascinating section on talking parrots. A leading avian veterinarian supplies an A-Z listing of commonn health problems and diseases.
