Product Description ...recites Sunny the parrot, one of Supreme Master Ching Hai's precocious birds that shares Her household. In this beautifully illustrated book, Master Ching Hai lovingly writes about each one of Her feathered friend's unique biography, complemented by life-like photographs and captions filled with amusing telepathic exchanges between Master and bird. As one views these colorful vibrant beings among the trees and flowers, singing their love for God, one feels a soulful retreat from the daily grind of the urban jungle. Simply opening this book of Master Ching Hai, instantly brings forth a magical forest animated with birds and flowers. Twenty-three beautiful feathered beings, frequently seen nestling in the Master's arms, brings Her endless joy. She is often moved by their words and actions and is greatly inspired by them as well. Master Ching Hai pleasantly surprises the reader by revealing that inside these God s creations are very highly developed souls whose love know no boundaries. Each bird comes with an inimitable life history and possesses its very own quirky personality. Some of them have had sad past making one s heart ache. Nevertheless, their funny antics will surely entertain and put smiles on faces, just the way they do to their beloved Mom. Supreme Master Ching Hai demonstrates in this work of love, the tenderest love a human can have for other creatures. Moreover, She shows how deeply animals can feel and that when one peers into their emotions a wide spectrum of feelings emerge. Master says: "I wish we could all understand others like birds, and treat them as we would ourselves...Their companion and friends mean a lot to them, sometimes as life itself, their loyalty is so incredible! They suffer loss and sorrow much like we do." All who have birds should consider their feeling and have respect for their dignity and love." These two hundred seventy pages of wonderful pictures and stories walk you to a world graced by beautiful birds and inspire to understand their lives and wide range of thoughts and emotions.

  Disappointed January 6, 2009 didn't like it. didn't understand why others did - - and I LOVVVE parrots...
  You've GOT to be kidding me... December 16, 2008 In case you haven't been able to figure it out, nearly every one of these 'reviews' are FAKE and written by the same person. All 100+ w/the exception of 2 honest, negative reviews. If you actually read the words used it's painfully obvious. The same phrases are repeated as well as the same poor English. Someone clearly had too much time on their hands, probably due to lack of book sales. Customers rely on sites like Amazon to get honest, accurate reviews of products from other users and people like this are a detriment and should be ashamed. Amazon, please remove these fake reviews and this product immediately and do us all a favor.
  JUST AWFUL December 12, 2008 This book is not informative and should not be considered non fiction.It is just computer generated pics of personal pets and ramblings of opinions of them.I was looking for more informative reading material.
  Do animals have a soul? Are they capable of love? October 22, 2008 Have you ever wondered if animals have a soul? If you could speak and understand their language, what would they say? If you could hear their heart beats in harmony with the universe, would it change your life forever?

  I believe the 5 star reviews are fake! October 9, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Birds in My Life This book was a major disappointment. Thank goodness I got it for only 0.75 on half.com. The photos are taken by an amateur, and some are out of focus. The birds are Photoshopped into a natural environment. The text is minimal, and is poorly written. An example of an entire page:
I am not afraid of any height Here you can see me hanging upside I want to see the blue Heaven That ~ my original nature~ reminds
This has taught me to be very wary of the "ratings" on Amazon. All of the reviewers that gave it 5 stars only had her other books (which are all self-published) listed in "see all my reviews". Of course, they all received 5 stars, also! For someone that has supposedly attained "Perfect Enlightenment", she seems to have no problems misleading the public. Interestingly enough, on Wikipedia, one of her directives is "to not speak that which is untrue."
I hope this will help other readers avoid this author and be wary of uniformly glowing reviews.
