Recommended reading material

[Lovelylew]

Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a great Friday night. My little fellow (CAG) should be arriving next week. I'm so excited - woo hoo! I went to the bird farm today and the sales person recommended getting the book "A Guide to a Well Behaved Parrot." She recommended this over "For the Love of Greys." Should I get one, both? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Nightie night, it's been a long day.

In general, the more info you provide yourself the better. I have not read the "Well Behaved Parrot" book referenced. I can say that "For the Love of Greys" is very useful. I say go for both! :silly:<br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2008/03/29 04:01

I have all three books mentioned plus a couple more, all are excellent reads, you can't go wrong with any of the 3 books named.

I'm sorry, you will learn more current info on the many sites on the net, then anywhere else. Here are a few good sites, but there are many more.

Hey there everyone, thank you for all the responses. I've bookmarked the websites suggested and made note of the reading material as well. Sorry for posting on the Welcome Board. I'm new and learning to find my way and navigate through this awesome site. Have a great Saturday!

Tracy is right we won't hold it against you, I felt the same way when I first came here, it appears a little overwhelming but it's not really, you will catch on quick.

I am afraid, I have to agree with Nev.

Don't be afraid, Fal, we won't hold that against you.
