Gus: A Bird’s Life, in His Own Words

by David Bellows PhD, Barbara Held PhD

Gus is a heartwarming, funny love story about how a clinical psychologist who initially rejected the 1.4-ounce pet parakeet his wife insisted on adopting ultimately wanted Gus to live beyond his all-too-brief five years. How Gus’s uncanny words of wisdom—though sometimes making the psychologist look bad to others—helped his therapy patients, himself, and his wife in remarkable ways.
This book is for anyone interested in human-animal relationships, as well as those interested in a therapist's take on his own life struggles.
