This book should be required reading for anyone contemplating adding a parrot to their family. Not only is this the tale of Joanna Burger's with Tiko, she is able to use her training and experience as an ornithologist and professor of biology at Rutgers University to bring insight into the nuances of avian behavior that confuse many owners of pet birds. Weaving professional experiences into her personal tale, she has created a beautiful and well-rounded tribute to these amazing and glorious creatures.
