"I have viewed this DVD twice and each time I have learned something important. As a person who has spent the last 30 years working with parrots, who has attended many conferences and seminars and read a lot of books on avian topics, I think this DVD has a great deal to offer pet bird owners, bird breeders and pet store staffers. I highly recommend this DVD for every person who owns birds. It is a great resource." - Laurella Desborough
