    Product Description

    The Quaker parrot is a favorite among bird owners because of its endearing personality and its facility for human speech. The new, updated edition of this popular book provides expert advice on Quaker parrot behavior training, grooming, diet, cages, toys, and protecting the inquisitive Quaker parrot from household accidents. The author, a widely recognized expert on parrots, emphasizes the importance of reinforcing desirable behavior and instructs on sensitively replacing undesirable ones, such as excessive noisemaking, biting, and feather destruction issues. She also discusses newly identified anatomical features and recovering escaped birds, and presents background information on Quaker parrots in their native ranges and newly-acquired naturalized status. Filled with color photos and instructive illustrations.

    The Quintessential Guide to the Companion Quaker
     
    Review Date: August 21, 1998
    Reviewer: ,
    Although any new Quaker owner will receive plenty of helpful basic information about housing, feeding, and health care, the real value of this book is in its in-depth study of Quaker behavior, personality, socialization, handling, and training. This is not a book to read once and put on the shelf; it is an "owner's manual" for the Quaker Parrot that should be kept handy and referred to over and over again as questions and problems arise. Even the experienced Quaker owner can learn much from this well-planned and easy to use guide.

    What Ms. Athan first did for all parrot owners with "The Guide to a Well-Behaved Parrot," she now does especially for Quaker owners with this book. She clearly explains procedures and principles for socializing, training, and dealing with behavorial problems of the Quaker Parrot. A special section on Quakers and children will be especially helpful to families, and the chapter on "rehabilitation" will be invaluable to anyone acquiring a "second-hand" Quaker.

    It's my personal opinion that if everyone who owns a companion Quaker were to read this book and use the principles and methods contained therein, eighty to ninety percent of Quakers who are being given up to rescue or breeding situations would be able to remain in their homes as cherished companions. If you now own or are planning to get a Quaker, this book is as essential as the cage, food, and toys.

    Great Book

    Reviewer: Elise,
    I got a quaker parrot about a week ago and had no idea of how to take care of it. After reading this book I know everything. This book tells you the basics like the cage size needed and what to feed it, but it also goes into some subjects that you would not expect like how to potty train your bird. It staites many times how to socialize your bird so that it gets along well with the whole family and so that it doesn't bite. It also talks about why and were the birds are outlawed. If you want to know everything about Quakers this is the book for you!
    Excellent Quaker information

    I am the happy companion of a 7 month old Quaker parrot. This book by Ms. Athan is a must read for anyone who has a Quaker, or is considering getting one. It has helped me to understand why my Quaker acts the way he does, and to properly train him to be a happy, friendly little guy. Ms. Athan clearly explains behaviors in an easy to read manner. She keeps it interesting. I have read this book cover to cover a few times, and have used it several times for reference. Her other book, "Guide to a Well-Behaved Parrot", is an essential read. This book reviews parrots' behavior in general, and also helps out with my Quaker. He may be small - but he's all parrot! Bottom line - good books by Ms. Athan.

    Reviewer: Emily L., Seattle, Wa
    Quaker parrots have been said to be either the best or worst kind of parrot you could own, and thanks to this incredibly helpful and imformative book by Mattie Sue Athan all three of of my Quakers fit into the best category. After several years of having parrots, I relaize how little I actually knew about them when I started out and can truthfully attribute much of my success to Ms. Athan's incredible insight. I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone buying a Quaker, as well as Mattie Sue Athan's Guide to Companion Parrot Behavior. Both are invaluable resources for any concientious parrot owner. Lots of luck to all out there interested in buying a little (or big) feathered friend!

    Review Date: September 20, 2001
    Reviewer: ,
    I put a deposit on my quaker without knowing much about it. All I knew was that my aunt had had one and it was cute, but you couldn't touch it. After I made the deposit, I came to amazon and bought this wonderful book. It inspired my passion for parrots. If I hadn't bought this book, Sweet Pea might be a lot like my aunt's quaker, cute, but you wouldn't be able to touch her. She is an integral part of our life, and is like the child we can't have. My only problem with the book is that is doesn't mention "trick" training as part of the bonding process. But it is not a big enough problem to warrant giving it less than 5 stars!

    Product Description

    My Parrot, My Friend is a straightforward book that addresses a growing need for parrot owners and their birds. When difficulties develop in the home, or a clash in avian and human natures makes for unhappy birds and angry owners, many times the sad consequence is painful termination of what could have been a long-term, joyful relationship. Happily, there is an effective remedy and it lies in a program of behavior modification. That program is fully detailed in this well-written, wonderfully detailed text. In addition, the text helps readers to find the right bird so problems can be sidestepped altogether, and it explains which birds not to consider and why.

    My Parrot, My Friend shows how parrots grow and develop, and how behavioral problems can start. The book explains behavioral modification, how it works, and how to apply it in specific situations. Case studies and an examination of pertinent issues add considerable interest to the text. These and other special features make this one of the most indispensable reference books you will ever use.

    My Parrot, My Friend is the first book to approach the subject in such depth for the lay reader. It will make a significant difference in how pet owners view and relate to their birds and will point the way to happy endings where once there were none.
