Parrots

Vibrant feathers flutter ... Rounded bill crunches ... Meet the parrot! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Parrots treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this group of brilliant birds, including macaws and parakeets. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the birds' relationships with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a parrot myth adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
