EDITORIAL REVIEWSWhether breeding birds or keeping a family companion, diet and nutrition are the most important aspects of their lives in order for them to maintain optimum health and fitness, and Polly Want a Sprout will provide the required information. Such subjects can be quite complex, depending on each particular situation, but nutrition will always be at the top of the list. Since 2002, Leslie has been writing for Parrots magazine, informing our readers about the importance of what their parrots eat, and going by the comments I continually receive, her articles have been a significant element in the good health and well-being of many owners' birds. Leslie's knowledge of nutrition and her determination to search for the finest foods is quite amazing. She will go to never ending lengths to seek out what is best for our birds. There is no doubt that sprouts are one of the finest sources of natural nutrition and her knowledge on the subject will be hard to beat. Every time I read through her monthly Parrots magazine's columns, I never fail to be amazed at the amount of detail she includes, and the invaluable information she provides.This book contains a wealth of knowledge and will, I have no doubt, become the 'encyclopedia' of nutrition for parrots and parakeets, and an essential part of any parrot owner's library. -John Catchpole, Publisher/Editor, Parrots magazine "Leslie's documentation is meticulously cited, which provides great peace of mind for those of us who want proof rather than marketing ploys." -Jenny P, Austin, Texas "A must read for aviculturists and avian veterinarians." -Linus McKibbin, owner, and Marcia Sherman, manager, Pettin Place, Reno, NV, retired exotic bird breeder (30 years) "This book answers questions I never knew I needed to ask." -Marie S, Sacramento, CA "We are impressed by your years of trial and error and research on how to eradicate avian malnutrition." -Lisa and Wayne Schandelmeier, Keeling, VA, US "In addition to the great advice for beginners, this book also offers really good insights for those of us who have had birds for years." -Pat Gower, PhD., San Antonio, Texas "Leslie Moran has shared the research, science and her passion behind the importance of properly grown sprouts and why they are the most nutritious food available to keep our birds healthy." -Peggy Beal, Board Member, RAAVE: Reno Area Avian Enthusiasts https: //raave.com FROM THE BACK COVER: The First Balanced Exotic Avian Nutrition Food Plan: This book makes feeding your parrots and finches the wholesome, real foods that they must eat every day, simple, easy, and fun.

The basic and essential nutritional elements presented and discussed in this book embrace the building blocks of solid, basic nutritional knowledge, scientific research, and case studies. Because of the enhanced nutrition that feeding birds a correctly formulated and properly grown sprouting blend provides, the author uses this life-giving avian superfood as the foundation for her 'Balanced Exotic Avian Maintenance Diet Food Plan'. This edition, formerly "The Complete Guide to Successful Sprouting for Parrots", has been completely rewritten and eight new information-rich chapters have been added.
