Understanding Parrots

Viac o knihe

The author provides rare insights into the world of parrots, gained from fifty plus years of intense daily observations of over 200 species. Many people throughout the world keep parrots in their homes, yet they know little about their wild relatives. I want them to know, says Rosemary Low. I want them to care what is happening to them. She reaches out to those who are privileged to interact with them on a daily basis, appealing for new standards of parrot care that recognise that parrots are sentient and highly intelligent creatures whose psychological needs are too often neglected. In this book the author has woven together details of their lives in the wild and relates them to what they need when kept in our homes and aviaries. It is a treasure-trove of parrot information.
