2 comments about Poultry Of The World.

1. Great Book, Great pictures. I specially like how Stromberg categorizing poultry breeds by country of origin and includes history and local folklore. However, I felt I needed more detailed information than that provided. There is no mention of husbandry techniques. Nevertheless, Stromberg's book IS the only comprehensive book on poultry breeds of the world. It is well worth the price and 4-week wait.



2. A very good book with a lot of information for everyone in the poultryworld - utility and fanciers. Many items were touches. A total other book than ever published before. Because all the international photowork difficult to value the pictures but many are good.

1 comments about The Bird In Bush: Survival Guide For Middleclass Warblers.

1. a) ON BIRDING. It provides a realistic study guide approach for taking a class on a weekend of birding trip. It describes (in detail) 7 major bird groups.
   b) POLITICALLY. It questions why so many Americans now believe "Any Way they Choose, they Loose", and formulates a plan for Middleclass Americans to take back our government by (1) limiting Bills being passed into Law having a single purpose,(2) Right to Petition Government being considered a formal action in Law (eliminating lobbiests), and (3) voting for middleclass candadates who sign an Affidavit agreeing to (1) and (2).
   c) SOCIALLY. It addresses weight loss and methods of overcoming drug abuse in our country.
   d)COMMIC. It creates great analogies of birds to politicians that most middleclass Americans will identify, and many politicians will hate.
   e)DEMOGRAPHIC. I brings to light the use of cable demographics, allowing politicians to promote deception on issues by alluding to being pro-life and pro-war in rural areas, pro-life and anti-war in the berbs, and pro-choice and anti-war in large cities.

1 comments about The Parrot Who Owns Me.

1. "The Parrot Who Owns Me" is a delightful memoir that should appeal not only to bird lovers, but to the general public, as well. The author is a faculty member at Rutgers who has specialized in the study of gulls and parrots. As a scholar, she's written 14 books, but this one is different: It's a memoir, a story of the relationship between her and Tiko, who sounds like one great bird.

   The memior follows her adoption of Tiko when he was in his 30s, after the two elderly ladies who owned him passed away. He became depressed and agressive, but slowly, Joanna and her husband brought him around. Ultimately, Tiko really bonded to her, quite literally falling in love with her and choosing her as his "partner."

   The storytelling in this book is engaging. In between the long segments about Tiko's development, the author intersperses information about her worldwide scientific field research, some of which was inspired by Tiko, and this information sheds light on parrot behavior in general, as well as that of her beloved Tiko.

   She also briefly discusses the parrots she'd owned prior to Tiko, and their stories are touching. I did, in fact, cry more than once as she reminisced about the birds who are no longer with her. That caught me off guard. It's a surprisingly touching story.

   Note: I read the book in paperback form, but I imagine that it's just as enjoyable in downloaded form! My experiences with downloadable texts has been good thus far, and I likely would have downloaded this one had it been an option at the time.

   In conclusion, then, I think this is an excellent book that has a strong appeal to it. I'm sure that's in part because I have two parrots, a cockatiel and a budgie, who own me -- but there's so much more to this story! I highly recommend it.
