The Parrot Who Owns Me Burger, Joanna Random 0375760253 / 9780375760259 Softcover New copy 'Birds are my passion,' says Joanna Burger, 'but parrots are my weakness.' Fifteen years ago, when she adopted a neglected, orphaned thirty-year-old Red-lored Amazon Parrot named Tiko, she entered one of the most complex relationships of her life.
Their story affords a fascinating glimpse into cross-species communication and understanding, and provides a rich testament to our need to reach out to other species. Sullen and hostile when he entered Dr. Burger's home, Tiko gradually warmed as she convinced him of her good intentions. Eventually he courted her, building nests inside household furniture during mating season and trying to coax her into them. He vigilantly nursed her through a bout of Lyme disease, preening each strand of her hair on the pillow as she slept. For a while he even fought her husband for her attentions, but eventually theirs became a relationship of deep mutual trust. The Parrot Who Owns Me is the story of the sometimes complicated but always enriching relationship between a woman and a unique green-feathered being. It is also the story of the science of birds, and of parrots in particular. Price:
