Parrots of the Wild explores recent scientific discoveries and what
they reveal about the lives of wild parrots, which are among the
most intelligent and rarest of birds. Catherine A. Toft and Tim
Wright discuss the evolutionary history of parrots and how this
history affects perceptual and cognitive abilities, diet and
foraging patterns, and mating and social behavior. The authors also
discuss conservation status and the various ways different
populations are adapting to a world that is rapidly changing. The
book focuses on general patterns across the 350-odd species of
parrots, as well as what can be learned from interesting exceptions
to these generalities. A synthetic account of the diversity and
ecology of wild parrots, this book distills knowledge from the
authors' own research and from their review of more than 2,400
published scientific studies. The book is enhanced by an array of
illustrations, including nearly ninety color photos of wild parrots
represented in their natural habitats. Parrots of the Wild melds
scientific exploration with features directed at the parrot
enthusiast to inform and delight a broad audience.

this is a wonderful book. I think that every parrot lover should own one and support the cause. Lovely to see that the proceeds from the book go to the World Parrot trust.
