Georgiesmum Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Finally receive my book (took about 2 months ) Lol It's a wonderful book and really goes into detail to explain the slight difference in some parrots and major differences in others... Some parrots i have never even knew existed. Tells you about extinct parrots and new world parrots... And beautiful illustrations of each parrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossfit Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Another one I love, but isn't so much about various species as about various behavior and such is Manual of Parrot Behavior. It is a series of articles, mostly by avian vets, related to current research into parrots. I was pleased when I saw that one of the authors turns out to be the avian vet I chose for my lil guy. Its a highly scientific book and you probably can get the same information here from people in more easily to understand ways but if your science minded like I tend to be, its an awesome book. http://www.amazon.com/Manual-Parrot-Behavior-Andrew-Luescher/dp/0813827493/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290712383&sr=8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
