Endangered Species: This striking bird of the Amazon has been desecrated by mankind for our own enjoyment. One man, Charles Munn, braving constant death threats, has taken on the government and poachers in his effort to save the Macaw and the forest of Peru. In the United States, Dr. Lorin Linder and others care for these birds abandoned by careless owners while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fights a losing battle against the rampant smuggling of these endangered animals.

Training and Behavioral Guidance:

Pet parrots generally present challenges, such as excessive chewing - especially at certain stages in their life. They do discover their beaks as method of "disciplining us" once they are out of the "baby stage" and they can generally be somewhat naughty, and it really is important to learn to understand them and to guide their behavior before an undesirable behavior has been established. Undisciplined parrots will chew on electric wiring potentially causing house fires. They regard anything in your home as a "toy" that can be explored and chewed on; destroying items that you may hold dear or are simply valuable. Even a young bird that has not been neglected and abused requires proper guidance; this becomes even more challenging when it involves a rescued bird that may require rehabilitation.

German-language Books:

German Die australischen Plattschweifsittiche ~ Klaus Immelmann

Die Plattschweifsittiche bilden innerhalb der Papageienvögel eine relativ geschlossene Gruppe. Sie sind in dreizehn Gattungen über Australien, Neuseeland und die umliegenden Inseln verbreitet. Mit der zunehmenden Austrocknung des australischen Kontinents drangen die Plattschweifsittiche auch in trockenere Lebensräume vor. Dieser Prozeß ging mit der Entstehung einer Reihe neuer Arten und Unterarten einher. Andere - ursprünglichere Arten - sind bis heute Bewohner geschlossener Wälder geblieben. Nicht wenige haben sich aber auch zu ausgesprochenen Kulturfolgern entwickelt. Bei den Vogelliebhabern erfreuen sich die Plattschweifsittiche seit Jahrzehnten unverminderter Beliebtheit. Die Haltung von Papageienvögeln in Menschenobhut wird in jüngster Zeit jedoch zunehmend unter dem Vorzeichen des Artenschutzes, der Erhaltung bedrohter Arten, betrachtet. Eine artgerechte Haltung und Pflege ist aber auch in bezug auf die Plattschweifsittiche nur bei Beachtung der Biologie der betreffenden Arten z u gewährleisten. In diesem Sinne richtet sich die vorliegende Monographie vor allem an denjenigen Leser, der eine ausführliche Darstellung von Verbreitung, Habitatwahl, Ernährungsweise und Verhalten der Plattschweifsittiche in den einschlägigen Abhandlungen über Haltung und Zucht dieser Vögel vermißt. Die Beschreibung der Plattschweifsittiche haben die Autoren um ein Kapitel über die neuseeländischen Laufsittiche erweitert. Neue Erkenntnisse über die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen den einzelnen Arten und Artengruppen wurden in diese Auflage eingearbeitet, Verbreitungskarten aktualisiert und instruktivere Fotos aufgenommen.
