"Complete Introduction to Parrots" is an abridged version of
the classic "Parrots and Parrot-like Birds", by the 12th
Duke of Bedford. He was an English lord, and perhaps the
most prominent bird breeder in the early 20th century. His
books were the state of the art in technical content in
their day, although they do not reflect the immense advances
in aviculture since then. However, he had an incredible
flair for writting amusing anecdotes about the misadventures
of his parrots (including truly rare species, like Lear's
macaw), which he let fly free in the English countryside.
This is why his books continue to be published, long after
the other aviculture books of his day have fallen by the
wayside, and why they shall continue to be 50 years from
now, when the books that are state of the art today have
become obsolete and fallen by the wayside.
