The Carolina Parakeet: America's Lost Parrot in Art and Memory by Carole Boston Weatherford - This is a sobering story of how a young nation loved, laid waste, and lost its only parrot. This much is certain. There was once a gem in the Great Forest, a winged jewel rivaling any in the tropics. It was the Carolina Parakeet, North America's only native parrot. Curiously, within the span of a century, the great flocks dwindled to nothing and this beautiful bird disappeared. Now, it is almost forgotten. All that remain are romantic tableaux penned by pioneers, likenesses limned by artists, specimens cataloged in collections, and longing, wistful longing.

The Parrot Who Thought She Was a Dog by Nancy Ellis-Bell - The last thing Nancy Ellis-Bell expected to descend on her life was a neglected, too-tall, smart-mouthed, one-legged, rescued Blue and Gold Macaw named Peg Leg. And yet, it made perfect sense. A lifelong animal lover, Nancy could never turn away a stray cat, dog, squirrel, or raccoon from her California farm. But the macaw, quickly renamed Sarah, was a whole new challenge, as Nancy, her husband Kerry, and their furry menagerie would find out. Touching, eye-opening, and laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a tender tale of two worlds colliding, two lives enriched, and two souls restored. It is also a rewarding reminder that love can come from the most unexpected places.

Where the Wild Greys Are: A Day in the Life of Africa's Grey Parrots by Diana May, Valerie Hovetter & James Gilardi - For hundreds of years, African Grey parrots have been trapped and exported from West Africa to be kept as pets in Europe and elsewhere, leading to potential extinction in the wild. This DVD from the World Parrot Trust shows scenes of wild greys feeding and gathering. It also shows how they are trapped for the pet trade. Though potentially disturbing to watch, this is certainly a part of these birds' lives that we cannot ignore. Your purchase can help stop the trapping of this well-loved species. All proceeds go to our dedicated fund for African Grey parrots. This DVD version also contains 'Macaw Blues: A Postmortem for the Glaucous Macaw,' a historical study of one of the New World's most beautiful extinct birds and how to avoid the tragic loss of future parrot species.
