Rosemary Low’s passionate interest in these fascinating parakeets is evident on almost every page. In the avicultural chapters she emphasises aspects that improve their quality of life: spacious accommodation (they need to fly!), a varied diet including many foods gathered from the wild, and avoiding over-breeding for the pet trade. The chapters on conservation show her concern for their survival (11 of the approximately 30 species are of conservation concern) and describes what is being done to save them from extinction.
