Much has been said about human relationships with cats and dogs, but how about the other top-ranking pet, the parrot?THE PARROT WHO OWNS ME contains marvellous anecdotes of Joanna Burger's own and others' experiences. It discusses her long-term relationship with Tiko, the orphaned parrot she adopted, who delicately preened her hair strand by strand while she slept feverishly in the grips of Lyme Disease - the most affectionate thing he could do. Parrots, like dolphins, will bond with humans to the extent of almost never seeking another mate, and also taking the alpha position in the relationship. That's the way to do it!
