The Parrot Companion

Caring for Parrots, Macaws, Budgies, Cockatiels & more.

Parrots are intelligent, humorous, beautiful and social creatures. If cared for with love and attention, they will provide years –sometimes many years- of happy companionship for their owners. Some parrots can attain an age in excess of 40years, so choosing the one that’s right for you is vital.

The Parrot Companion discusses the most popular species, outlines their pros and cons, and gives advice on where to purchase them. This informative guide also looks at all aspects of parrot keeping, from basic training to common behavioural problems, such as screaming, biting and feather plucking, and how to avert them.

Explore the colourful characters that make up the parrot family – from macaws, conures, lories and African grays – and find the parrot that’s perfect for you.

Chapters include:

Parrots as pets
Which species is right for you?
What you need and where to buy it
Your parrot as a family member
Behaviour: how to avoid problems
Basic training
Feeding for health and longevity
Health and beauty
Rehoming your parrot

My Parrot Shop Review

A good book for beginners just starting out and needing a framework to build their knowledge on, and for experienced keepers wishing to revisit the essentials in a modern context. Rosemary Low, considered the leading authority on companion parrots in Britain, provides down to earth and practical advice. With lots of quality photos and a great section on nutrition, this book is, as most Rosemary Low books are, a great addition to the parrot shelf.
