Minds of Birds is a must read for the avian enthusiast!

I have often wondered about motivation for certain actions and reactions of my pet birds...this book has filled in the blanks..The author studied birds for over 60 years and has given a wonderful record of all types of situations and a basis for understanding the instinctual and functional behaviors necessary for survival. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves and keeps birds..
