Breaking Bad Habits in Parrots 

This book really is quite different from other pet parrot books.  In addition to detailed no-waffle guidance on keeping companion parrots, this is the first pet parrot book which explains how to teach your bird flight requests, so there’s no need for wing-clipping.  There are details on:

• Avoiding problems of moulting and wing-clipping. 
• Parrot biology. 
• The different types of ‘pet’ parrots. 
• Housing for parrots (cages and aviaries)

This book is 128 pages, hardback with full-colour illustrations throughout.

This is my latest book.  Cockatiels are often under-rated as companion birds, yet they make excellent pets.  They rarely have the problems commonly seen in other parrot-like birds.  The book includes details of how cockatiels live in the wild, plus information on their biology and behaviour.  Owners are advised to allow the birds to exercise by flying and details of how to teach birds the basic flight requests are included.  The main areas covered are:

• Cockatiels in the wild
• Biology; how they fly, see and hear
• Housing (cages and aviaries) 
• Diets and feeding
• Training, including flight requests
• Frequently asked questions
• Overcoming some behavioural problems
• Health care and first aid.
