T he information about African Grey Parrots shared by the author goes well beyond simple description. She offers clear and relevant direction regarding all aspects of the care and breeding of African Grey Parrots. Her love and respect for these birds is obvious throughout the book.
This extensive collection of thoughtprovoking articles on the Grey Parrot
species represents the author's years of observation and experience with breeding, and hand-raising Greys. The reader gets the distinct impression that the offering of information represents a sincere educational effort. The book is filled with sound, practical knowledge and deep convictions about the best way to manage African Greys.
Geared toward all audiences associated with African Greys, the articles cover a wide range of topics such as The Egg, From One Breeder to Another, Life After Weaning, Bringing Your Baby Home, and The Adolescent Grey. Detailed information is provided on diet, average weights, wing clipping, and managing stress in African Grey Parrots. There is something for everyone in this excellent book and no stone is left unturned.
Although the title, For the Love of Gnrys, leads one to conclude that this book is exclusively about African Greys, it is sure to become an important guide and reference for owners of all parrot species. I highly recommend this "must own" book for the novice and expert alike.
