The book delivers advice in a way everynody can understand. Breaking Bad Habits in Parrots describes how best to keep a companion parrot in a domestic environment and explains what you can do to overcome any problem behaviours, such as screaming, self plucking, biting and destructive habits. With 250 colour cartoons and photos, a rainbow of Macaws, Conures, Lovebirds and many more are featured in this definitive book by top behaviour consultant Greg Glendell. A good book for all those parrot owners out there! --Pet Focus

Product Description
Parrots are among the most highly intelligent creatures that we routinely keep as pets, and they are capable of forming very close and rewarding relationships with their handlers. However, a parrot keeper must be prepared to devote quite a lot of time every day to his or her bird to ensure that it is content and mentally stimulated. An unhappy bird may easily develop a repertoire of problem behaviours, such as biting, screaming, feather plucking and nervousness. In this definitive book, a top behaviour consultant explains how best to keep a captive bird in a domestic environment and reveals what you can do to overcome any problem behaviours that your bird may already have developed. The book is divided into four sections: Parrots in the Wild covers the social and flocking behaviour of wild birds, birth and the growth to maturity, and species differences. The Science of Behaviours covers the language of parrots, typical behaviours and how to modify behaviour through training. Training to Avoid Bad Habits covers how to train a bird using positive reinforcement techniques to obey a variety of commands, such as 'Step Up', Step Down', Come to me', 'Fly off me', 'Take This' and 'Drop That'. Breaking Bad Habits covers how to overcome behavioural problems, such as biting and aggression, screaming, self-plucking and self-mutilation, nervousness, and destructiveness. The ideal book for all parrot owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Parrot book, 9 Mar 2009
By Koen Jans (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book. It starts with the assumption (unlike most parrot books) that you wont clip your parrot's wings, and give it the freedom of flight - somethign which is also my personal belief.

Great ideas and photos, and lots of stuff to think about. I can only wonder why the author doesn't make a more voluminous book.

Maybe a minor detail: the title of the book is a little negative. But the content doesn't suffer for it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Basic training for pet parrots, 1 May 2009
By T. R. Caris "Ron Caris" (Herten, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good book for people who owe a parrot and need to learn the basics of training their parrot. I am not sure if serious problems in parrot behaviour will be solved by the advise in this book.
