Query: general parrot care for beginners

I was very disappointed with this book. I was hoping to find information specific to the African Grey, but instead found a very simple book that was a guide to basic parrot care. Most information in this book applies to any parrot species. I did not find any useful information unique to African Greys beyond the description of the species and the Eurocentric history of parrot keeping.This is not a helpful book. Try the Guide to a Well Behaved Parrot for general information, and African Grey Parrots, by the same author.This book was an utter waste of time and money. I feel the title is misleading.It was also upsetting that the author outright discouraged adopting preowned parrots, and encouraged play with dangerous toys - nuts and bolts and rope. If you get nuts and bolts or rope toys for your parrot please make sure they are made from bird safe material so your lovely parrot companion doesn't die from metal poisoning or strangulation.
