This 3-CD set covers virtually all the New World parrots -- 140 species. From the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.Parrots have bright, conspicuous plumage, but they are difficult to locate and identify in their forest habitat. Therefore they're hard to census. There is much we need to learn about where they are and how they are doing.
Produced to help researchers learn the calls so that they can identify the parrots by ear, this CD set will be an ear opener to anyone interested in parrots.
Comes with a 55-page booklet with important information about wild parrot research, about the how to identify parrots in the field, with a section on vocal charateristics and another on flight characteristics. A detailed chart describes flight style, customary height above ground, flock size, and roost habits. Notes tell where each recording was made and whether the bird was perched or in flight.
For the casual listener, the guide raises awareness of the amazing diversity of New World parrot species, their unique vocalizations, and the need to protect them.
