I'm reading a book by Bob Tarte called "Enslaved by Ducks" which would fit this crowd very well. He starts out with a rabbit and ends up with a menagerie of ducks, turkeys, rabbits, parrots, doves, etc. and an insane schedule of care for them. HE would be a perfect candidate for BYC addiction groups. Don't even ask about his wife putting a nighty-night hat on their parrot and singing it songs for it to sleep every night!
P.S. Another good book is "Wesley the Owl" about a researcher who took in an owl in California and it lived with her for 19 years as she documented all its habits and characteristics for "science".
