The Parrots of South America
by Rosemary Low
Pages: 290
Publisher: ---
Edition: 1st ed., 1972
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0707100631
ISBN-13: 978-0707100630
Description
This volume is a complete review of the parrots of South America by a noted authority.
America has a greater number of parrot species (using Peters’ classification, 144, as opposed to 189 for the rest of the world) than any other continent, although the birds do not show such a diversity of form as do those from Australia, for example. The majority are found in the northern part of South America but they actually range from south-eastern Arizona in the USA, where the Thick-billed Parrot occasionally appears in the pine forests, to Tierra Fuego, in the southernmost part of South America, where the Magellan Conure is found.
