I've read a LOT of training books for various species, and this is definitely a good one. The first eighty pages give a brief history of animal behavior analysis and extensive explanations of the basic tenets of positive training. It's followed by sections on basic handling, training behaviors to make healthcare easier, tricks, and talking. Each trick or behavior includes a breakdown of steps to get from A to B. Super useful for bird owners, but I can see people with other types of animals gaining something from it as well because the general principles are applicable across species.
