Review
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2006
"Once again Joseph Forshaw has raised the bar of avian identification guides. His latest book . . . is a superbly written and illustrated book on all parrot species and subspecies of the world. . . . I cannot recommend this book highly enough and believe it should hold pride of place in any collection of avian volumes."--Susie Anderson, Australian Aviculture
"Joseph Forshaw's name is synonymous with quality parrot books. . . . For the serious parrot enthusiast, this excellent book is a must-have. Without a doubt, Parrots of the World: An Identification Guide, will remain for years to come, the definitive work on the subject of parrot identification."--Russell Kingston, Australian Birdkeeper
"As well as helping identification this terrific book also covers the relationships between parrot families, plus their relationship with humans and subsequent conservation issues affecting the birds today. Any fan of birding in the tropics will want a copy, as will those with an interest from an aviculture perspective."--The Visitor
"A wonderful addition to any avian library."--AFA Watchbird
"This is a very valuable reference text."--Roger Wilkinson, Newsletter of the World Parrot Trust
"Altogether it is a fine addition to the literature and one that will please the most discriminate reader."--Charles E. Keller, Indiana Audubon Quarterly
"By far the most comprehensive and illustrative handbook for distinguishing all 350 extant species of psittacines in the world.... An essential tool."--Auk
