Book: Alex & Me

[Jason]

Hi,

 

I have just started reading this book about Alex the parrot and Irene Pepperberg. So far it is very good and I am really enjoying it. Just wanted to make everyone aware of it.

I just finished reading that very book and enjoyed it immensely, a very good read for any grey owner or parrot owner, once I started reading I found it hard to put down.

Thanks Jason for posting this. Actually there is another thread already on this book and your right, it is a great book and a must read:

I also strongly recommend "Of Parrots and People "by Mira Tweti. It was published in 2008 and is less well-known than Dr. Pepperburg's book, but it is a really well-documented and up-to-the-minute report on parrots worldwide, both in the wild and captivity. Like most of us, Tweti is crazy about parrots, so her reporting is infused with her passionate love and concern for them. You can check it out on Amazon here:

Loved "Alex and Me"! Another good read is "The Parrot Who Owns Me" by Joanna Burger, about Tiko, a Red-lored Amazon.
