Описание: One third of the world's nearly 400 species of parrots are threatened with extinction or already close to it. These include some of the most spectacular and iconic bird species on the planet, such as the Hyacinth Macaw from South America, the Kakapo from New Zealand, and the Orange-bellied Parrot from Australia. This book takes a detailed look at 30 parrot species and explains why they are endangered and the steps being taken to conserve them. Many of these chapters include highlights of the author's own time in the field working on and observing conservation projects related to the parrots' survival. These very personal accounts vividly bring to life the problems that parrots are facing.
Описание: When author Victor Rash visited a bird rescue and encountered the bird that would eventually become Freddie Mercury, a blue-and-gold-scarlet macaw mix, he was thrilled. He knew the one-and-a-half-year-old parrot was very special. Freddie quickly made himself part of Victor's life, playing with toys and living happily in the Florida room at the back of the house. Then one January day a few years later, in the midst of a remodeling project, Victor accidentally took Freddie outside on his shoulder. The parrot flew off for a strange adventure, leaving Victor wondering how he would get his friend back. Over the course of the next ten days, the bird faced threats from cold, storms, and birds of prey, all while Victor and members of his community worked to bring Freddie home. His desperate search finds help from many neighbors, a local radio station, and an out-of-state police department, eventually delivering Freddie back home, where he belonged. This personal narrative recounts the tale of how an entire community came together in an effort to rescue an escaped tropical parrot in the middle of winter.
