    • Good Book

      by Emmaleigh (California) - 2009-05-02  Rated 5 stars
      This is a good book about Greys. It has lots of pictures and good info about Greys. I got every book about Greys that I could afford before I got my Timneh. I wanted to make sure I was an informed owner.

    • Decent for youth and under-educated, but...

      by Travis C. Ward (Silverton, OR United States) - 2003-12-29  Rated 2 stars
      Ms Rach seems to have tried a bit too hard to write a book for youth but seems to think you talk down to them.A fine try and the book does have a good deal of specific information but the detail is in all the wrong places to be of much interest to me.Better to buy THE AFRICAN GREY PARROT HANDBOOK, or KEEPING AFRICAN GREY PARROTS.

    • WOW! I love this book!

      by Ed Usher (L.A.) - 2001-06-21  Rated 5 stars

Once I sell it, I will post my actual thoughts on this wonderful wack job... I mean expert of african greys.The greatest advice in the entire world. Like, this book opened my eyes and made me think just like the bird does. Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket! I can speak African Grey now, because I read this wonderful book. Did I mention I am selling this book? Oy, chock full of information and history and will make you suicidal ... er I mean an expert!

    • Now days, anybody can call themselves an "Expert"

      by Ed Usher (L.A.) - 2001-06-07  Rated 1 stars
      This woman is a wack job at best. This book should be titled "The Adventures of my African Grey Sinbad!" The book is based on her bird and what little knowledge she has. You can learn more by spending 30 minutes with the guy at Petco or Petsmart. Want a good book on Parrots? Look up Mattie S. Athan!She gives tips in her book, then on the next page the tip goes against what she just said on the last page! For instance: Don't buy a galvanized cage for fear of poisoning. Next page tells you to let it play with a nut and bolt. HELLO! Galvanized! One page says they are creatures of routine and let it get one. The next page says don't let it get into routine. Now days anybody can get published. THe book is more about her bird who she loves so much but is nutz. Her bird is crazy, bottom line. If you buy this book, keep it in the bathroom :) Just ... incase.

    • Good for a story and that's it.!

      by - 2000-05-20  Rated 1 stars
      The book is well written I can't deny that.. but the author seems too obsessed with her female Grey called Sinbad.. she doesn't even know that Sinbad is an Arabic name for males and not females. The photos indicate that the author is fond of cheap as most of the cages portrayed are offensively so. She even recommends that Birds be allowed to play with Screws and Bolts for toys.
