Description
The author is a well-known judge and exhibitor of birds and imparts the knowledge gained from his long-time association with Macaws in this book. He draws on his background in veterinary medicine and many years of experience in the care and management of these brilliantly colored birds to provide an eminently readable and highly useful blend of practical advice and fascinating natural history.
Readers will enjoy not only the information about Macaws in general – they are easily trained, they can learn to talk, and they are frequently exhibited in bird shows – but, also the specific details related to the many different species. Dr. Decoteau’s advice and techniques are presented in a smooth, easy-going style and are highlighted by numerous full-color and black-and-white photographs. Macaw owners, naturalists, and bird fanciers, in general, will find this informative book a very useful and exciting reference.
Contents include: keeping Macaws, feeding Macaws, housing Macaws, Breeding Macaws, Exhibiting Macaws, preventive medicine, diseases affecting macaws, hybrids and extinct macaws, and classification of Large Macaws, and Miniature Macaws.
