From Joanie Doss on Amazon Behavior and Body Language!
Joanie is one of the foremost authorities on Amazon behavior. Her 7 male Amazons have taught her the many intricacies of dynamics and interpersonal relationships within her flock. Her troup of "The Amazing Amazons" performed for the public for many years, allowing even small children to hold them after each show. These experiences have taught her what her little green charges are saying with their postures and behaviors and she is now sharing this knowledge with us in her two books.
The first of her two books explains how to read the body language of Amazon parrots with drawings to show each posture. The second deals with the hormonal or aggressive Amazon. Many years of research and observation have gone into Joanie's books in order to help you to understand what your Amazon is telling you with his posturing. These two books are a "must have" for any Amazon owner.
