"Charms, delights, and educates while providing a fascinating tale of love and devotion to the feathered creatures that share our increasingly crowded world." -- Joanna Burger, author of The Parrot Who Owns Me "Unique and engaging . . . [Gilbert] shows reveals in elegant prose how every creature has value, and how a voice for one is voice for all." -- Lyanda Lynn Haupt, author of Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds "Fascinating . . . . A testament to the challenges we all face when we love another being." -- Stacey O'Brien, author of Wesley the Owl "Readers will acquire education plenty from Gilbert's discussions of the creatures she encounters and the challenges rehabbers face." -- Kirkus Reviews "Gilbert's prose reads easily, ushered along by her clear, knowledgeable explanations of biology, medicine, natural history, nutrition, and animal behavior. . . . Strongly recommended." -- Henry T. Armistead, Library Journal "Funny and insightful. . . . Most of us see birds through binoculars and windows. Suzie Gilbert has entered their lives." -- Carl Zimmer, author of Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life and Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea
