this is basically a collection of elaborately planned out themed pictures of this woman's pet parrots in costume. there are several scenarios that made me laugh out loud. the fact that this woman took the time to build a costumed biker, complete with felt arms filled with tattoos, and THEN was able to coerce these parrots into the costumes, makes this book definitely worth a look. it's a coffee table book, for sure, but still funny as all get out.
