"Bringing Birdie Home" video...

This is a fantastic, educational, soup-to-nuts primer on the subject of bringing home a companion parrot. It's well worth watching even if you already share your home with one (or several). It's chock full of practical advice as to what you can expect when you invite a parrot into your home, including safety precautions, dietary requirements, sanitation helpful hints, behavioral training and environmental enrichment suggestions.

Barbara Heidenreich, who is featured prominently in the video, was kind enough to review and recommend my novel, Little Birdies!. I mention this only to enhance her already stellar reputation in the avian community and to demonstrate her obvious impeccable taste in avian science fiction literature.
