 Parrots
of the World: An Identification Guide
by Joseph M. Forshaw
From the macaws of South America to the cockatoos
of Australia, this comprehensive handbook distinguishes some 350
species of parrots from across the globe. Lavishly illustrated with
more than 120 color plates and additional illustrations, the book
covers parrots in homes, zoos, and in the wild, providing detailed
descriptions of their key identifying features. By allowing readers
to easily narrow their search to specific geographic areas, the
book will prove especially useful to those interested in parrots
of a particular locale. Descriptive distribution maps show the geographic
location of the different species, and an entire section is devoted
to ecological and behavioral information relevant to identification.
In addition, the guide differentiates Old World and New World species
and points out significant sex or age differences in plumage coloration.
This book can provide enormous help to those engaged in gathering
important field data and monitoring international trade, two initiatives
that are of critical importance to the conservation of parrots worldwide.
Clear, complete, and colorful, this is one guidebook that no museum,
research institution, zoo, or bird enthusiast will want to be without.
