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.

In addition to getting our supplies, we also board our two parrots there when we go out of town. They're very helpful, and Omar is very knowledgeable about parrots and parrot behavior.
