5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone who owns a large macaw should have this book., March 1, 1998
"The Large Macaws" is a behavioral and management, nutritional, and health-care guide -- as well as a history and an encyclopedia of well-and little-known facts about the biggest of all parrots (with occasional references to the mini-macaws). The book is lavishly illustrated; replete with tables and charts; and fully documented. The authors are among the world's leading experts on hyacinth and other large macaws. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Informative, August 12, 2001
By Wes Stewart (Graham, NC United States) - See all my reviews
...after reading and seeing all the information that is given, it was well worth it. This book has 100 times more information than any of the other books on macaws. It was definately worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST, Informative books I have read., August 27, 1997
By A Customer
This book is ideal for the beginner, a perfect reference for the professional, with points proven. It is easy to read and understand and the photographs are great. It gives great comparisons and history on many subjects and views on the Macaw
