Parrots are the most highly endangered group of birds, are long-lived, and are highly intelligent. I have been interested in the social behavior of parrots , including nesting behavior, foraging, behavior at clay licks, and aggressive interactions. My research interests run in parallel with an interest in companion parrots, and in education about companion parrots and urban parrots. The Parrot who Owns Me (Random House) is a story about developing a relationship with a parrot, including why parrots behave as they do.
