Anyone buy the new Parrot Behavior book?

this is Parrot Behavior by Andrew Luescher. It's $71.50 used on Amazon, so kind of pricey. I"m wondering if anyone here has had a chance to flip through it or review it? I"m thinkin of getting it.

Barbara Heidenriech's books are much cheaper than that! She's very good too!

Heck, I could WRITE a behavior book. It would be BAD behavior, but I could write one.

I got it recently but have yet to read much. I've only read some of the chapter on feather damaging behavior. So far so good. But if you wait for me to read and review, it could take a long time.
