This updated bird owner's guide, written by experts on parrot psychology and care, instructs on socializing and instilling domesticated behavior patterns in birds of the Poicephalos family. A friendly and relatively quiet parrot, the Senegal makes an excellent companion for parrot lovers who might hesitate to keep a noisier bird. The authors offer clues to the Senegal's sensitive temperament, describe the bird's traits, and instruct on its dietary needs and appropriate indoor environment. Color photos throughout.
