Information on abused birds?
Does anyone know of any books or resources on abused birds?
I may be adopting a bird that was severely abused, but I would like to get all the info I can. It's a pretty sad story. I have large bird experience, so I think I will be prepared to deal with it. I also know that it will take a lot of time, effort, and patience on my side to earn trust. I would just like something to reference in case I had other questions. I also belong to a parrot forum website, but not too many people on there have rescued an abused bird.
Thanks for any help.

The Second-hand Parrot
by Mattie Sue Athan & Dianalee Deter
Previously owned parrots can make wonderful companions, but they sometimes require humane behavior correction. Two expert parrot owners point out the pros and cons of adopting a bird that has had a previous owner. Topics include availability, selection, potential behavior problems, housing feeding, health care, grooming, socialization, acclimating, accommodating, modifying unwanted behaviors, and step-by-step instructions for everyday care. Clear, straightforward text comes with high-quality, full-color photos and anatomically accurate line art, as well as helpful tables and charts.
