Parrots are incredibly smart birds with intelligence comparable to that of a toddler-aged child. The language comprehension of parrots makes them incredibly desirable as pets, creating a high demand in the illegal and legal markets. Of Parrots & People exposes the humor and danger of these markets, including the owners, “parronts,” who treat their birds as cherished members of the family; and the lack of commitment by some owners, leaving an overabundant population of wild parrots in the United States.
