M2MM Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 In the interests of all Greys and their human companions, I have compiled my reading list. I actually read and own every book you see here, and have categorized them according to My Opinion on their contents. Enjoy! My favourite books include: For the Love of Greys (Bobbi Brinker) Guide to a Well-Behaved Parrot (Barron's) The Parrot Who Owns Me (Joanna Burger, Ornithologist) Sally Blanchard's Companion Parrot Handbook (aka The Happy Bappy Fun Book) Good Bird! (Barbara Heidenreich) The Parrot Problem Solver (Barbara Heidenreich) These books will not only give you a lot of excellent information, but will also give you an idea about what living with a bird is like.
