4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a good starter book,
By Mark Kraus (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Macaws (Hardcover)
This book provides details on the distribution and ecology of macaws. It also provides information on extinct species, as well as unconfirmed species. The book is obviously written by a breeder/hobbyist and tends to discount scientific studies in favor of anectdotal information. Range maps and ecological data on the species are interesting, and provide valuable information on the various macaws. The book was originally written in 1983, and has some out dated information, but all in all it is an informative and easy read, and should be part of any macaw lover's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great starter book,
By Mark Kraus (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World of Macaws (Hardcover)
This book provides interesting details on both living and extinct species of macaws. Detailed distribution maps and life history information provide details on the species and their habitats. The book is obvioulsy written by a hobbyist/breeder, and tends to discount science and research in favor of breeder's records and anectdotal information. It is also a bit alarmist (but possibly rightly so) regarding the loss of macaw habitat in the American tropics. Also it has some out dated information on macaw care, stemming from the fact that it was written in 1983 and later translated. All in all it is an easy read, provides interesting information, and is worth acquiring.
