 Great book November 14, 2008
This is a wonderful book. Great tips and sound advice. Unfortunately, I think my macaw read it before I did. Now I am a very obedient, well-behaved owner. Seriously, the book is worth every penny. I've had my macaw 24 years, and neither she nor I am too old to benefit from the common-sense tips we found in this book.
 Excellent book for dealing with behavior problems September 8, 2008
Very useful book. Good information on dealing with problems, plus background information on animal and parrot behavior.
My Goffin Cockatoo and I Are Speaking Again August 28, 2008
The Parrot Problem Solver
My sweet lovable Goffin had turned into a biting, cantankerous monster. I could not, for the life of me, figure out what I had done wrong or why he had learned to hate me so much. After reading this book I was relieved to find out that he didn't hate me. He was just trying to communicate something I couldn't understand. After reading this book and putting the suggestions into place (It took only one week, by the way), we are now back on speaking terms. Barbara Heidenreich has saved our relationship!
Parrot Expert June 25, 2008
I know Ms. Heidenreich personally and worked with her for years. As I believe parrots to be the most misunderstood of all pets it is always a touchy subject to discuss parrot behavior with parrot owners. Barb is one of the few "parrot experts" I have ever met after 13+ years in the zoo animal training field. I highly recommend anything written or offered by her. Good luck!
Every Parrot Owner should own this book April 22, 2008
Barbara provided great insight into parrots and why they do what they do. She uses reeal world examples from Parrots and many other animals that she has experience with. This book breaks down the different types of aggression and signs to look for. I wish I had ordered "Good Bird! A guide to solving problems in companion parrots" at the same time as they are complimentary as I understand it. It will arrive this week. One other thing, the book has a ton of great photos as well! You won't be disappointed with this book.
