New Handbook about the Parrots of Africa

Africa is a large continent containing relatively few parrot species. Nevertheless, especially African Grey and Senegal parrots belong to the most popular pet animals of the world. At the same time, little is known about their natural behavior and ecology, and some species already give some serious reason for concern in terms of conservation.

The outstanding book “Parrots of Africa”will provide enormous help to those engaged in the biology, conservation and aviculture of these unique birds. It is the most comprehensive handbook of its kind and covers the habitats of all African parrots (Psittacus, Coracopsis, Poicephalus, Agapornis, Psittacula species), their non-breeding and breeding biology, their feeding ecology as well as important conservation issues. Aviculturists will find the compact husbandry manual for African parrots of great value. All aspects of caring for African parrots are covered in this comprehensive section. The guide contains information about housing, feeding, and breeding these sensitive and intelligent birds. [Read on at... http://www.openpr.com/news/34785/New...of-Africa.html]
