Parrots, Macaws and Cockatoos : The Art of Elizabeth Butterworth Parrots are beautiful birds, so why shouldn't a book about parrots be just as beautiful? This one comes pretty darn close! So there's not much useful information here for the parrot enthusiast... We offer other books to fill that need. This is a book to lighten the soul with many stunning full page color illustrations of your favorite birds, and at a price (for the paperback edition) that won't seriously lighten your wallet. A great gift item, both for yourself and others!

The illustrations are very attractive, and the notes on each species are quite informative. This one is on our shelves at home. Is it on yours? List: $47.95 -- Our Price: $33.57 -- You Save: $14.38 (30%) Parrots : A Natural History by John Sparks and Tony Soper As you would expect of any book published by Facts On File, this is filled with all sorts of fascinating information about parrots. You can read about the history of parrot keeping in various far corners of the world, odd habits of some very strange parrots, as well as threatened species and their conservation. Do parrots really talk? What happened to the Carolina Parakeet? This book discusses these issues and many more. It is enriched with many unusual color photos and other illustrations. Another book the we recommend as a gift for yourself or another parrot lover. List: $24.95 -- Our Price: $17.47 -- You Save: $7.48 (30%) Parrots of the World by Tony Juniper and Michael Parr Just published. If you want a book about how to take care of your pet parrot, then this is NOT the book for you. If you want to understand how parrots live in the wild, how they fit in their ecosystem, and how they are endangered by threats to them and their ecosystem, then this can be a very rewarding book. There is a huge amount of information about all 350 of the world's parrot species packed into this book. There are illustrations of each species. Although the illustrations are not as artistic as those in Forshaw's book, you get illustrations of adult and juvenile forms of the bird, different sexes in the case of the few sexually dimorphic species, and views of the bird in flight, an absolute must for field identification. So what good is a field guide if you're not planning a trip to the Amazon? We think that the better you understand a parrot in its most natural state, the better you can understand it in its domesticated form. Besides, anyone who loves parrots in a specific case should love parrots in general.
