Your Outta Control Bird

Your Outta Control Bird offers practical advice for the common problems that people living with birds face every day.

Why does your parrot scream, bite, or pluck? Your bird liked you, and now it behaves like it doesn't even know who you are. Your parrot is such a fussy eater, you don't know how it's even surviving.

Your Outta Control bird helps with these issues and much, much more. Discover why your bird does what it does, and how to guide it into becoming the companion you've always wanted--or at least become a bird you can live with and love.

After reading and applying all the information accurately, the result was a phenomenon. I believe that after reading your book, my birds and I have developed a mutual understanding. It took me just one month to turn my Godzilla to a very affectionate bird. Thank you so much for your information."
