This book is a collection of entertaining stories about Peter Tössberg and Birgitta Magnusson’s own birds. It deals with some of the problems and questions which are likely to be encountered when purchasing a parrot or acquiring one second-hand, and the behavioural problems which can be experienced in owning parrots of different sizes.

In the book there are unique photographs of flying parrots (mainly Amazons, Cockatiels and Budgerigars) and also photographs of cockatiel and budgerigar chicks, showing their development from egg to fledged chick.

This book has been written for both beginners and more experienced parrot owners, with the purpose of contributing to a better relationship between them and their parrots.

The book also gives tips and advice about parrot care which the authors have found to be important, and it is richly illustrated with more than 290 beautiful colour photographs, including photographs of 30 different parrot species.

The authors have kept budgerigars, cockatiels and Amazon parrots as pets for many years, and their natural interest in the behaviour of birds and their interaction with humans has become a focus of their lives.

Over the past seven years, the authors have published several articles about their budgerigars, cockatiels and Amazons in several major international bird magazines, such as Parrots and Australian BirdKeeper. These articles have been read by people interested in birds in more than 60 countries around the world.
