Denver, CO and San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2007 -- Charlie Bird--The Best Bird Ever is a warm and lighthearted new children's book about Charlie, a Jenday Conure (a type of miniature parrot). Illustrated with colorful photographs, Charlie Bird chronicles the adventures and misadventures of one very special bird and of the people who love him.
Outskirts Press is delighted to announce the publication of Charlie Bird--The Best Bird Ever by San Diego author Linda Bird. Full of humor and beautiful color photographs, Charlie Bird is a semi-fictionalized account of the adventures of a Jenday Conure, a type of small parrot native to South and Central America.
This is the story of Charlie Bird, and his featherless flock, Sara and Molly. Charlie is a small parrot, a Jenday Conure. The two sisters think he is "The Best Bird Ever." That is, to them anyway! Sara and Molly are Charlie's best human friends. Sara is nine years old. Molly has celebrated seven birthdays. Charlie Bird came to live with the girls two years ago. He is a very important part of their lives now. They eat together, play together, and even watch TV together.
"Charlie Bird is a very mischievous little bird," says author Linda Bird. "He is constantly providing entertainment to our family. Charlie Bird highlights some of the real and imaginary episodes in Charlie's life. I have lived with Charlie for three years, an experience that has enlightened me to the intelligence and sense of fun that parrots posses."
Charlie's curiosity often gets him into trouble, but Linda wouldn't trade him for the world. Charlie Bird--The Best Bird Ever will show youngsters just how intelligent and fun-loving birds can be. They'll never look at these feathered creatures in quite the same way again!

Treat The Birds To A Bird Bath!
All birds love to have a bath every now and again. Don?t get me wrong, they do not like to be placed in water and washed all over. They prefer to give themselves a bath! Whilst our pets don?t necessarily need one, wild birds absolutely love them, and you can buy one and place it in your garden without any hassle. In fact, some bird baths look really nice in a garden, and they can make really good outdoor ornaments.

Choosing A Hat For Birdwatching
If you want your kids to be a part of the process it is very easy to make your birdhouse very simple. It is quite possible to use four or five pieces of wood and construct one with very little in the way of tools. Then there is the posture of a bird. Believe it or not, birds perch differently. For example, a Flycatcher perches vertically (straight up and down) when on a branch while a Vireo perches horizontally (almost lying down) when on the same branch.
