Ultra Socialized Parrots

Kili & Truman visit the park several days a week. Here is a glimpse at what one of their outings typically looks like. This is an example of two ultra socialized parrots.

Michael, you are a hero! All those naughty kids around your birds - I would be having a heart attack - not at how the birds might react (Kili and Truman are just the sweetest, most docile little toys!) but, my goodness, I wouldn't want to be amongst that crowd of children, and I'm bigger than them!

Great job, you and the birds were wonderful.

Oh, and congrats on the free flight!

Looking forward to getting your book, Michael. Is it going to be available in ebook format as well as hard copy?

For now I'm only going with Hardcover but I may consider doing ebook later on. If I did though, it wouldn't be much cheaper so it would only be for those folks who are intentionally set against paper books :lol:

It is my hope that this is going to be a book that people will go back to time and time again and not just a one time read. So it will be well worth to have a hard copy. I spent like 3 days making the index alone.

I'm sure that'll be the case and it'll become a well thumbed book in my house. I need it asap, I've had my Sennie about 3 months and he's doing great with the trick training but despite that is running rings around me lol :? The clock is ticking and I need to get a better handle on his behaviour before he hits the terrible two's! My question about the book was more about the cost of postage to the UK.

Truman and Kili are amazing, I can't believe how comfortably they tolerated being surrounded all those children! They're certainly an outstanding advert for your methods.

Unfortunately shipping will end up around $20. It's a pretty heavy book :D

Eventually I'm going to try and see if stores in other countries want to buy a bunch wholesale and distribute them locally to reduce shipping costs. Let me know if you have a favorite store in mind and I'll make them an offer.
