This authoritative reference, the first of its kind, is a necessary
addition to the library of any practitioner or behaviorist who sees
avain companion animals. Because of their beauty, intelligence,
playfulness and ability in mimicry, parrots are the most widely
kept companion birds. It is estimated that more than half of the
psittacine cases presented to clinicians are the result of
behavioral problems-problems inherent to captivity.
Bringing together a host of international experts on avian
behavior, Manual of Parrot Behavior explores the many facets of
psittacine behavior, both normal and abnormal. The book not only
provides readers with a solid understanding of the basic principles
of psittacine behavior but also offers useful techniques of
diagnosis and treatment for specific problems.
- Covers both normal and abnormal parrot behavior
- Offers practical techniques on diagnosis and treatment of behavior problems
- Written by a team of international experts on avian behavior
- A necessary addition to the library of any practitioner of behaviorist who sees avian companion animals
