Very Enjoyable "General" Information on Parrots

This book is neither an illustrated guide to parrot species, nor is it a pet owners handbook. It is remarkable compendium of general information on parrots. It covers everything from the age and distribution of parrots in the fossil record, to parrot behavior in the wild. It also summarizes information on extinct and endangered species of parrots and the reasons that these problems arise. (For specific information on species that are extinct or endangered you would probably desire a more current source as this book was published in 1990.)The information on parrot behavior seems fresh and accurate and unburdened by much of the poor advice and lousy information that many books, particularly those aimed at pet owners, dispense.This book is a very enjoyable source of general information for anyone that is fascinated by, or has wondered about parrots.
