Summary: Good Basic Infomation
Comment: This book provides a good general overview of caring for an african grey. You'll need other books that go into more depth for behavior management, etc., but this book is a good starting point. While the book is current and up to date for the most part, the author does recommend giving your parrot a nut and bolt as a toy. Surprisingly, she does not warn that you must be careful that it does not contain zinc. The nut and bolt would have to be made of stainless steel to be safe, otherwise your bird could get heavy metal poisoning.

Summary: A Must Have Book For Beginners
Comment: I must say that the reviews that I read here on Amazon.com prior to me purchasing this book were right on. "The Essential African Grey" is wonderfully done and extremely informative. It is very easy to read with its subheads. This book not only covers the basics which are important, but also touches on possible diseases of African Greys, and details "what to look for" in a number of scenarios to help ensure your grey's health. This book is something you must own and perused again as situations may occur with your bird. And remember, greys (parrots) have only been domesticated two generations which still leaves the tag of wild for quite some time (way beyond our lifetimes), so we will always be learning and adapting new techniques, finding diseases (and hopefully proper vaccinations in the future, etc., etc.). This means that you need to check future books for more up-to-date methods and treatments in the future (as this author clearly spells out).

Summary: Good book, basic info
Comment: If you are looking for a very good beginers book on african grey parrots, this book is for you. Gives great information about food, ilnessess, etc etc. I just wish it gave more information about the size of cages and other cage stuff. The pictures are great, and the book is very easy to understand. Up-to-date information is inculded which was very nice. I would recondmend this book to people who are interested in buying an african grey parrot.
