Thank you very much for recommending 'Of Parrots and People'... I'd been looking for some good non-fiction and this was perfect, I read the whole thing over the weekend and I'm really glad I did. I feel very informed now about the pet bird trade and look forward to sharing what I've learned with friends and family.

ur welcome.

the book is a real eye opener. i mean i kinda knew stuff like this happened but the book really clarified it for me.

y is the print so tiny in this book!!!!!

anyone finish this book yet ?

Thanks for reminding me! It's in the bag of books I take camping....I forgot all about it! I haven't quite finished yet, not sure how much more to read....

Just bought this book the other day -- it's extraordinary! I can barely put it down except to grab tissues (really) and then kiss my Pudgie Budgie.

As Vincent said, the information is definitely something to share with friends and family.

I'm only at Chapter 5 right now, so.....I'll be back....

yes its a tear jerker all the way to the end for sure.

I got this book for Christmas.
I go to the doctors office for a Tysabri infusion every month and that is the only place I read it. I am about half way through. Since I only read it once a month, I have about 2-3 months left.
There are usually 30+ other people getting Tysabri at the same time. We all usually talk during the couple hours so I have ended up educating probably 50+ people about bird mills, etc.

that is really awesome polly

yea and honestly reading it in bits and pieces is way better lol its a heavy emotional load and alot to take in if you read it all at once.
