the many sub-species. Aside from the well-known, short-tailed green and
gray parrots, the group includes macaws (the largest of the family),
cockatoos, parakeets, lovebirds, lories, and lorikeets. This fascinating
book comprises a comprehensive guide to a huge range of birds that fall
into the category of parrots, detailing their appearance, habitats and
habits. The perfect book for parrot-lovers, this text makes for a great
addition to any collection of ornithological literature. Chapters
included herein are: 'A Guide to Range', 'Appearance', 'Habitats',
'Habits with Special Attention to the Parrots of the Amazon'... and
more. We are proud to republish this text with a new introduction to
ornithology.
