PARROTS OF THE WORLD

Sub-titled 'Up Close with the World's Cleverest Birds'. Even if you are afraid of these sharp beaks, you will be mesmerised by the beautiful coloured plumage and attentive eyes. Parrots have always captured the imagination of humans and this showcase of beautiful photography from around the world has a chapter on each parrot family from the huge macaws and cockatoos to the diminutive hanging-parrots and parrotlets. Here are striking birds like the plum-parakeet, the Australian king parrot, the rosy-faced love bird, the rainbow plumed red-rumped parrot, the nervous little Western Rosella and a characterful pair of chatting crimson-bellied parakeets, only found in Brazil. For each there is a note on the number of species and genera, Latin name and short description and then a gorgeous colour photograph from the expert photographer Steve Brookes. 176pp, softback. Stunning colour photography.
