The Making of The Large Macaws
 |
Conception and writing of The Large Macaws began in 1990. The family of macaws is discussed from avicultural, veterinary, conservation and archeological viewpoints. |
The avicultural portion provides practical information that breeders or pet owners need to take proper care of their macaws. Chapters include identification, pre-purchase considerations, housing and nutrition, thus providing the nucleus from which macaw owners can begin learning. More experienced owners can discover new information in the breeding, incubation, and pediatric chapters. How to evacuate a breeding facility, investigative actions to take when a bird dies, and sexual dimorphism of Hyacinth Macaws are some of the topics never before covered in print.
