<p>PARROTS, THEIR CARE AND BREEDING is the most comprehensive coverage of the parrot family in captivity to have appeared in any language  In recent years there has been a necessary shift of emphasis among aviculturists, who, since importations have been severely restricted, now concentrate their efforts on breeding from their birds.  This book therefore deals very thoroughly with this aspect and includes the experiences of breeders throughout the world, many of them previously unpublished.   Parrots are especially interesting as aviary subjects:  certain species breed so readily that there are more of them in captivity than in their often shrinking natural habitat; others, however, are extremely difficult to rear under captive conditions.   As pets, parrots have been popular for centuries for their intelligence, affectionate nature, engaging personalities and their ability to mimic.  The parrot owner who is interested primarily in this aspect will find information on individual species' characteristics throughout the book.  Ninety full colour photographs illustrate widely varying species of parrot and include some extremely rare specimens.</p>
