Description
Parrots of the Wild explores the lives of wild parrots, one of the most intelligent and rarest bird groups. Recent scientific discoveries shed light on their evolution, behavior, and adaptations, revealing a complex and fascinating world.
The book delves into the evolutionary history of parrots, examining how this history affects their perceptual and cognitive abilities, diet and foraging patterns, and social behavior. It also discusses conservation status and how different populations are adapting to a rapidly changing world.
With over 2,400 scientific studies reviewed and its own research distilled, this comprehensive account provides a synthetic overview of the diversity and ecology of wild parrots. The book is enhanced by an array of illustrations, including nearly ninety color photos of parrots in their natural habitats.
