Best Bird Book Out
This is an absolute treasure of a read. I just got my second Eckie after 26 years of morning the death of my first and best bird friend anyone could be blessed with. Thank for Kirsten for helping me realize what was missing in my life,

A must have for all future eclectus owners!
I read this book multiple times before we got our Eckie. It goes well above and beyond your standard guide and covers just about everything you need to know! Would recommend to anyone considering bringing one of these beautiful birds into their family!
I really enjoyed this book
I am a new Eclectus parent and i have read three books on them as a specific species and this book is by far the best!! You feel like your learning from someone who live with them not just breeds them.
