If you ever write a "worst books about parrots" post, I've got a couple I can nominate for the list. (Not that I'm encouraging any naming and shaming.)

Your book is informative as well as humorous, serious but also light-hearted. Some of the budgie books I bought initially were so full of dire warnings and worst-case scenarios that they were truly depressing and intimidating. Safety issues, health concerns, etc. are very important but I feel they can be presented in a balanced context, one in which the joy and fun of parrots is emphasized, and your book achieves that. :) "Of Parrots and People" by Mira Tweti is one of my favorite books; I highly recommend it and it can be life-changing for many people.
