Aus dem Klappentext

"The first thought that struck me when beginning to read this book was that here is a lady who is most definitely in love with African Greys it shines through every page . . . If anyone is considering embarking on breeding and hand-rearing greys, the chapters on breeding, hand-rearing methods and weaning should be required reading by law as it clearly shows the dedication needed to do it properly! I thoroughly recommend this book, both to novices looking for their first baby and also seasoned grey owners, as it certainly describes the commitment needed when sharing our lives with these delightful parrots." Tracy Gwillim, Parrots Magazine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information about African grey parrots shared by the author goes well beyond simple description. She offers clear and relevant direction regarding all aspects of care and breeding of African grey parrots. Her love and respect for these birds is obvious throughout the book . . . Although the title, For the Love of Greys, leads one to conclude that this book is exclusively about African greys, it is sure to become an important guide and reference for owners of all parrot species. I highly recommend this 'must own' book for the novice and expert alike." Carolyn Swicegood, The AFA Watchbird -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Numerous books have been written on African greys, most of which contain general technical information. For the Love of Greys, however, is based largely on the experiences of the author, who is a long-time African grey breeder. As a result, this book gives much insight into what shapes the personality and thus pet quality of African greys . . . This book should be on the reading list of anyone interested in these birds, and it is a must for prospective African grey owners." Gwen Flinchum, DVM, Exotic DVM Veterinary Magazine
