danmcq Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yes, "For the love of Greys" by Bobbi Brinker is an excellent book to get start with on general information. I will also say this forum is the best source for real-time information as you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme575 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I agree with Dan, joining this forum is probably one of the best starting places. I think I read most of the forum before moving forward. I also really enjoyed "Parrots for Dummies". I can't remember the name of the author and the book is under Paco' cage, he is still asleep, but it gives great overall parrot information with quite a bit of grey specific info as well. I loved it for when I first brought Paco home, it really helped me get acquainted properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseaB Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi Mike , welcome! I am new to greys also, I have had my baby about 4 1/2 mo. now. The book Dan recommended, For the Love of Greys is absolutley wonderful! You must read that. Also a subscription to Bird Talk & Good Bird, Inc. will give you lots of useful info. Also reading the forum here is invaluable, everyone is so willing to help with any question. They are a wonderful group! Good luck aquiring your new grey, it is a wonderful thing! Karma to you for planning ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A nice paperback to have is African Grey Parrots by Maggie Wright from Barron's. Can't wait to hear how your search for the right grey goes. Please keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
