Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eclectus parrots (Eclectus roratus) are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing parrot species that are indigenous to the Pacific region, specifically the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea, and neighboring islands. Males and females of these medium-sized parrots are sexually dimorphic, which means their plumage is noticeably distinct. In addition to a striking orange beak, male Eclectus parrots are typically vibrant green with blue and red patches on their wings. Females, on the other hand, are predominantly red with a black snout and a blue abdomen. This striking physical distinction between the sexes is uncommon among parrot species and is likely attributable to their reproductive and dietary preferences. Eclectus parrots are social and exceptionally intelligent animals. They possess remarkable mimicry abilities and are capable of learning to imitate an extensive variety of sounds, including human speech. They consume fruits, nuts, seeds, and certain invertebrates in the wild. They require a varied diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, and a premium parrot pellet or seed mixture when kept in captivity. Puppies adore these parrots on account of their remarkable aesthetic appeal, cognitive prowess, and capacity for strong emotional attachment to their human companions. To flourish in captivity, they require considerable space, mental stimulation, and social interaction. For Eclectus parrots maintained as pets to maintain their health and wellbeing, they require meticulous care and attention.

Download or read book The Bird Way written by Jennifer Ackerman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, a radical investigation into the bird way of being, and the recent scientific research that is dramatically shifting our understanding of birds -- how they live and how they think. “There is the mammal way and there is the bird way.” But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries –– What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own: deception, manipulation, cheating, kidnapping, infanticide, but also ingenious communication between species, cooperation, collaboration, altruism, culture, and play. Some of these extraordinary behaviors are biological conundrums that seem to push the edges of, well, birdness: a mother bird that kills her own infant sons, and another that selflessly tends to the young of other birds as if they were her own; a bird that collaborates in an extraordinary way with one species—ours—but parasitizes another in gruesome fashion; birds that give gifts and birds that steal; birds that dance or drum, that paint their creations or paint themselves; birds that build walls of sound to keep out intruders and birds that summon playmates with a special call—and may hold the secret to our own penchant for playfulness and the evolution of laughter. Drawing on personal observations, the latest science, and her bird-related travel around the world, from the tropical rainforests of eastern Australia and the remote woodlands of northern Japan, to the rolling hills of lower Austria and the islands of Alaska’s Kachemak Bay, Jennifer Ackerman shows there is clearly no single bird way of being. In every respect, in plumage, form, song, flight, lifestyle, niche, and behavior, birds vary. It is what we love about them. As E.O Wilson once said, when you have seen one bird, you have not seen them all.

I now live at Bonville, NSW just South of Coffs Harbour. I have been interested in bird keeping and breeding since the age of 15. I first started keeping native parrots, then when I got married I concentrated on the Australian Black Cockatoo's. In 1971 I was credited with the first breeding of the White-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus latirostis). In 1972 my family and I moved from NSW to far North Queensland to develop a bird-park. Our plan was to display and breed as many of our native Australian species of parrots and cockatoos, many species were bred here over the next few years. We later sold the bird park and returned to NSW. In 1986 I was offered a position as Bird Curator at the new Pearl Coast Zoological Gardens, in Broome Western Australia. This Zoo was owned by The Lord McAlpine of West Green, London, United Kingdom. In 1989 I was made Manager of the zoo and was responsible for 39 staff 200 mammals and 1500 birds. In 1993 after the zoo closed due to the health of its owner, my family and I returned to NSW, I purchased most of the bird collection and shipped them all back to their new home in NSW. In 2003 I wrote the book "Eclectus Parrots An Experience" which was a great success. Then in 2013 I release an updated digital e book edition which is available via my web page www.eclectus-parrots.com Graham Taylor. ... Order Today!
