The Eclectus Parrot - NEW BOOK AVAILABLE NOW
By Dr Rob Marshall & Tailai O'Brien
This pioneering study has taken 20 years to complete and is broadly divided into two halves.
Part one examines the evolutionary origins, life history, wild diet and breeding behaviour of the eclectus parrot and contains a detailed chapter on species and sub-species identification. With a focus on conservation-based aviculture, part one is a useful reference for those wishing to learn more about this captivating species.
Part two is co-authored by bird behaviouralist Tailai O’Brien and dedicated to the care of companion birds. It is applicable to a wide variety of parrot species and includes comprehensive nutritional and dietary information as well as practical instruction on meal preparation, daily routines, enrichment strategies and advanced training methods.
The final sections are directed towards avian veterinarians and curious owners. The causes and treatment for the most perplexing parrot diseases and behavioural disorders are unravelled through an innovative and integrative approach to health.
