Parrots of the World

Fair used hardcover. Loose binding, cocked spine with creases and tears. Sun faded covers.

Conceived to meet the needs of ornithologists, institutions, aviculturists, and naturalists generally.  Its basically scientific appeal, however, will not prevent it from becoming the bible of parrot-fanciers throughout the world.  Every species and subspecies, including those now extinct, is described.  Information on distribution, status, habitats, general habits, including measurements of eggs, is given.  There is a distribution map for each species. 

Approximately 500 species/subspecies are magnificently illustrated in color by William Cooper, whose work has ranked him among the world's leading bird-painters. A completely un-abridged edition of the original 1973 edition.
