Query: only the parrots earn a star

This book was about a fascinating subject, but the narrator himeself left much to be desired. He really put me off the subject, since his own musings and spiritual journey were of such a passive nature. I mean, this guy continually describes his search for a "path" but does nothing to find it, other than sit around (for DECADES) as time moves on. I guess he's waiting for Buddha himself to bang on the door. It's like someone who claims to be looking for the keys to go for a drive, but will not get off the couch to look for them, then whines and complains he wants to go for a drive. Just really tiresome to hear of his inability to act. If you notice as you read it, even when he gets to know about the parrots, it's still all about HIM. How they relate to him and not vice versa. Pathetic.
