Reviews
"Stacey O'Brien tells the intriguing story of how her life was changed and rearranged when she attempted to tame and raise Wesley -- a barn owl. She shows us how she was ultimately repaid with his love and devotion, and given glimpses into the mind of an animal that has an unexpected ability to understand human language and to communicate. Fascinating!"-- Stanley Coren, psychologist and author ofHow Dogs ThinkandWhy Does My Dog Act That Way?, "This fun book reminded me ofMarley & Me, but with wings. Warm, weird, and wonderful, Wesley the Owl is proof that man's best friend sometimes has feathers." -- Mark Obmascik, author ofThe Big Year, "This compelling story sheds a bright, shining light into the world of animal emotions and the powerful bonds forged between animals and humans.

Not since Konrad Lorenz have I read such an honest, vivid, and revealing account of the rich and complex life of an individual bird.

This book is destined to become a classic, and will deepen importantly the way we understand birds." -- Sy Montgomery, author ofThe Good Good Pig, "The best of love stories between two intelligent beings, told (by the human) with good humor and remarkable insights into the mind of an owl -- I couldn't put it down."-- Donald Kroodsma, Ph.D., professor emeritus at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and author ofThe Singing Life of Birds, "This compelling story sheds a bright, shining light into the world of animal emotions and the powerful bonds forged between animals and humans.

    Only one page was colored on, so "gently used" was a good way to describe this book. The quality is great. It was a really good price. It has no rips, torn pages, even the cover is like new, the appearance is better than described. The seller had good communication. Item arrived in a timely manner and was packaged well. I would buy from this seller again.

    Item was as described and wrapped with other purchases in shrink wrap, then placed in a mylar shipping envelope. No padding or cardboard, but it arrived okay.
