Thomas Arndt: Parrots - Their Life in the Wild

Millions of parrots are populating the living rooms, garden aviaries and the open-air enclosures of zoological gardens – but hardly any of their keepers or admirers really understand them, know exactly where they come from, how they live, nourish themselves, when and how they raise their young or why they are so colourful.

This book has been written for all who are not satisfied with only appreciating the large family of parrots as caged pets. Let yourself be carried away into a world full of surprises: Into the life of parrots in the wild.

You will learn about the ingenuity of the loris, cockatoos, parakeets, macaws and amazons to survive. The dark sides of the life of the parrots are not concealed. Many of the described species are under the threat of extinction.
