The only drawback of this book, I found that I sometimes struggled with the many technical terms regarding parrot information as upcoming parrot expert. This book is basically a summary of all scientific studies that affect the behavior of parrots. These include:
- The influence of neophobia in hand rearing birds.
- Which kind of aggressive behavior can be distinguished?
- And how can you recognize such behavior and which factors cause it?
- The essential importance of enriching the surrounding area and their lives.
- When there is abnormal behavior, such as excessive screaming, stereotyped behavior, how to handle?
- Why do parrots need foraging?
- Which kind of factors may play a role in feather picking?
- Is this feather picking behavior solvable?
- How important is living together for species that are held in captive?
- Which diseases are known to affect parrots?
- Do parrots have an imprinting phase in the first period of their lives?
- Their preferences of a nest box..
