Large characters in a subtle look. Long-winged parrots are popular as pets because they require less space than macaws, are quieter than amazons, and do not destroy everything like cockatoos. This book presents the ten species of the African genus Poicephalus (long-winged parrots) in a current and detailed manner. You will find detailed information on their natural habitats and conservation status, biology and behavior, new systematic insights about the genus, care and breeding in human custody, and individual portraits of each of the ten species, all up-to-date and practical. It answers all questions regarding the behavior and care of long-winged parrots and includes many color photographs.
