YEAHP, those are all amazing books, I might have to look into some of those ... I have a few specifically on Conures if anyone is interested ...

 

[rockinseattle]

I would love for all of us to join in and list books we have... I love to read books on all of the different parrots, not just books about the parrots I own..

What conure books do you have?

 

[TexDot33]

You'll have to give me a minute, I have to go get the books out of the bathroom ... well, where'd you guys think I did my reading? :18:

Maybe if this thread gets long enough we can make a sticky out of it ...

 

[rockinseattle]

OH NO!!! where is this gonna lead to? HA! HA!

 

[Peta]

I have a few of the ones you have Rocks,

I also have

Encyclopedia of Cockatiels
Cage and Aviary Birds
The new parrot Training Handbook
African Grey Handbook
and a few others that are upstairs (not in the bathroom) I'll have to go look through them all.

I know that I have a Macaw, Too, and Amazon book can't think off hand what they're called.

Making this is sticky is a great idea.

Great thread!

I'll have to look through my library. There's one not listed that I found valuable:

My Parrot, My Friend

I also think we should list the books (there are a number of them) that are still available, but severely outdated - I'll check my library for them as well.

Thanks for listing some more books
