My mom does nothing but complain about them and the mess and noise they make. Maybe I should give her a copy of this book and it would make her feel more hospitable toward them.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-80044878577514407222010-01-12T09:26:45.898-05:002010-01-12T09:26:45.898-05:00I've heard of the documentary - I had no idea ...I've heard of the documentary - I had no idea it was a book first.

I don't usually think of birds as having much personality or being loving towards people, but the parrots certainly were.<br /><br />Sandy Nawrot- It does. Near the end of the book he talks about meeting Judy Irving, and the making of the film. It's such a lovely story. I don't think I've seen the documentary, but I know I want to!<br /><br />Susan- thanks!
