Previous editions of Australian Parrots have
been widely acclaimed as the standard reference works on these spectacular
birds for almost forty years. Joseph Forshaw and William Cooper
have now prepared this fully revised, greatly expanded third edition,
another outstanding production from this world-renowned partnership
and the most comprehensive account of Australia's cockatoos, lorikeets,
and parrots. To accommodate taxonomic changes, some new paintings
have been prepared by William Cooper, and these enhance both the
visual attractiveness and scientific accuracy of the book. This
new edition will be welcomed by all parrot-lovers in all countries,
and will be particularly helpful to aviculturists seeking to know
more about parrots in the wild as a guide to their own husbandry
techniques.
