Parroting postmodernism

A review of "Parrot (Reaktion Books - Animal) by Paul Carter. 

"Parrot" is a soliloquy of incomprehensible, postmodern drivel. The positive reviews must have been written by parrots. Sure, the pictures are fine, but that's about it. If you want real information on the cultural significance of parrots, please read "Parrot Culture" by Bruce Thomas Boehrer. Richard Verdi's exhibition catalogue "The Parrot in Art" is a good complement to Boehrer's book.

Forget about this one. :-(
