4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for lory information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lories & Lorikeets: The Brush-Tongued Parrots and Their Care in Aviculture (Hardcover)
As a breeder of lories, I find myself reffering to Ruggles' book constantly. The species information is easy to locate and she provides good visual diagrams for nestboxes, and some of the more difficult species to identify (Black Caps and Rainbows). The other thing I really enjoyed about her book is that the pictures were largely original and not duplicated like most of the other, smaller lory books. This is not a great work of literature for casual reading. I found her writting style to be repeatitive and the diet information is not applicable to the diets available in the U.S. (the author lives in Australia). I consider this to be a 'must-have' for anyone interested in lories. I found no serious misinformation that is common with other lory books that I have seen published... and the information, visuals, she provides makes this a very handy guide.
