Product Description

Bobbi Brinker shares her knowledge and experience with African greys in all of the areas that are important for the pet owner and for the breeder. Bobbi's unsurpassed understanding of the essential African grey is matched only by her ability to convey the information with respect, compassion, and empathy for greys and for the people with whom they share their lives. Bobbi's love and respect for these birds is obvious throughout the book. She offers sound, sensible information in a series of thought-provoking articles. The book represents the author's deep convictions drawn from years of observation and experience hand raising grey babies. Common misunderstandings about African greys are explained clearly and with an inescapable logic. The book contains important and vital information presented in a clear and relevant way for prospective African grey owners. Although the title leads one to conclude this book is exclusively about grey parrots, it is an important guide and reference for owners of all parrot species. Originally published and distributed by the author to aviaries and grey owners, Lucky Press is very proud to have obtained the worldwide English publishing rights to Bobbi Brinker's book and to offer the second edition of For the Love of Greys to the trade and to the public. This latest edition comes with a new, color cover and updated references sure to keep the reader up-to-date on the latest information. Many of the articles in this book have been translated into Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Polish on the World Wide Web. Many of her articles have been reprinted in bird club newsletters, nationally and internationally and offered as educational handouts at conferences and bird fairs. This book and her articles are given by other breeders to their clients to help them better understand and manage their African greys.

Customer Reviews

For the Love of Greys.
This is a must have book for all African Grey owners. It is well written, and full of pertinent information regarding the African Grey.

I have read three other books on the subject, but none was as informative as this book. This book does not just gloss over various topics, but rather goes in depth on each matter explaing the why and why nots.

I highly recommend this book. I will keep this book at arms length all through my Grey's life.

Great book!
This book answers every possible question about african greys. The only thing is that there are no color pics, it's all black and white. But the info is excellent.

Grey-t Information
This is a very informative book reagarding African Greys and their behavior and our interaction with them. VERY helpful! It had more information regarding breeding and hand feeding than I needed but the games and the food suggestions and just general information regarding greys was very helpful! GREY-T author!
