Product Description

Parrots are colourful and conspicuous and capture the imagination of bird observers and visitors to Australia. This text explains how to distinguish one from another and presents some of the details of their lives and behaviour. Covering all of the parrot species in Australia, the book is organized into six sections - the cockatoos, the lorikeets, the grass parrots, the rosellas, offshore parrots and other parrots. Information is organized simply, with individual species entries describing key characteristics such as where they are found, food requirements and behavioural habits. Each entry is accompanied by colour photographs and, where appropriate, distribution maps. A key feature of the text is the "gee whiz" section which answers many of the most commonly asked questions about why parrots do what they do, revealing interesting facts and providing practical information for the amateur enthusiast. In addition, fact panels interspersed throughout highlight surprising snippets of information.
