If you are a lover of cockatoo, macaw and amazon, the line-drawings of these birds will take your breath away. When I first opened the book, I gasped! Ms. Butterworth has captured the essence of their character, even more so than a photograph. The line-drawings in this book deserve to be framed and showcased in a prominent position in your home. I bought 3 books. I framed pictures from the first, and kept the second for reference, and gave the third book as a gift to Dr. Bernadette Plair who is with the Cincinnati Zoo. Dr. Plair recently (March 2000), successfully reintroduced the blue and gold macaw back into the wild in Trinidad.

This is an oversized book of vividly colored line-drawings of the Cockatoo, Macaw, and Amazon parrots species. It's a truly magnificently produced book with Elizabeth Butterworth's beautiful artistic drawings that are just so realistic. You could actually frame many of these drawings, they are that good. There's a wonderful introduction about all these parrots by Elizabeth that is inspirational. If you're a lover of birds, or have companion parrots yourself, don't miss this book.

One of the best bird drawings I have seen, they are so well done, that one wishes to frame each one of the them, if you like birds and you like colour this book is for you.

The pictures in this book of Elizabeth Butterworth's artwork are really incredible. This book would be an awesome gift for anyone who loves parrots. The pages are heavyweight paper and could be framed and put on the wall. I thoroughly enjoy this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys parrots and gorgeous artwork. I am a parrot breeder and many of my customers have enjoyed looking at the book.

I was looking for books to help with the behavior of my macaw. This book is full of pictures, beautiful pictures. However, I really need help with my bird. Maybe I didn't read the description thoroughly enough.
