"Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot" is a picture book: "The staff at the Parrot Sanctuary knew Chloe was a beautiful soul. They wondered how long it was going to take to find her perfect fit." Chloe had been at the Parrot Sanctuary for a long time. In her previous home, she had been so stressed, she'd plucked out most of her feathers. The staff thought it could be a long time before this sweet little parrot found her forever home. And then one day ... Based on a true story, and a true parrot. "Parrots are often misunderstood. They need love, devotion, and knowledge from their caregivers. This book shares the terrific story of a well-intentioned person getting a companion parrot - without realizing the commitment required to provide this brilliant and social creature with an enriched life. If their basic needs aren't met, birds can often become unhappy and lonely. Parrots call loudly for attention and even harm themselves. Parrots are marvellous, can live for 80 years but need a serious commitment from their human companions." Marie-Elisabeth Gagnon KPA-CTP, CPBC, Director, The Parrot Sanctuary
