Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After completing his conquest of the Persian empire, Alexander the Great maneuvered his army across the Hindu Kush and into India. During his two years there, he traveled from dry frigid mountains to humid tropical lowlands and then back across one of the most punishing deserts on the planet. He fought a series of desperate battles against strange foes mounted on war-elephants, suffering wounds that nearly killed him. And when he eventually turned homeward, he brought with him specimens of a rare, magical species, a bird that could speak with a human voice. Introduced to Europe by Alexander, parrots were quickly embraced by Western culture as exotic and astonishing, full of marvelous powers, and close to the gods. Over the centuries they would become objects of veneration or figures of folly, creatures prized for their wit—or their place on the dinner table. Ultimately, they would become emblematic of the West's interaction with the world at large. Identifying a deeply rooted obsession with these beautiful and loquacious birds, Bruce Thomas Boehrer provides the first account of parrots and their impact on the Western world. Parrot Culture: Our 2500-Year-Long Fascination with the World's Most Talkative Bird traces the unusual history of parrots from their introduction in the Graeco-Roman world as items of oriental luxury, through the great age of New World exploration, to the contemporary ecological crisis of globalism. Boehrer identifies the poignant irony in the way parrots became ubiquitous as symbols and mascots, while suffering near extinction at the hands of those who desired them. Exploring their presence and meanings in the art, literature, and history of Western civilization, Parrot Culture also celebrates the beauty, intelligence, and personality of these birds, whose fate will say as much about us and the world we have created as it will about them.

Book excerpt: Avian Genetics: A Population and Ecological Approach is a collection of papers that deals with the study of birds in relation to the synthetic theory of evolution. This book studies the ecology, demography, behavior, and geographical distribution of birds; the text also discusses quantitative, chromosomal, biochemical, and population genetics. Part I reviews the various genetic interactions, including an analysis of DNA sequence variation. The different and newer techniques are compared such as the works of Sibley, Quinn, and White. Part II describes the molding genetic variation and covers topics such as inbreeding; gene flow and the genetic structure of populations; non-random mating; and the process of selection in natural populations of birds. Part III covers actual genetic case histories, including quantitative ecological genetics of great tits; genetic evolution of house sparrows; and presentation of evidence for sexual selection by female choice in the Arctic Skua. This book also presents future research in subjects such as the neutrality-selection controversy or genetics and conservation. This text can be beneficial for ecologists, ornithologists, animal conservationists, and population biologists studying birds.

Book excerpt: Bourke Parakeet Guide The Bourke Parakeet, scientifically known as Neopsephotus bourkii, is a charming and relatively small parrot species native to the arid regions of Australia. These beautiful birds are often referred to as "Bourke's Parakeets" or simply "Bourkes." They belong to the family of parrots, which includes well-known members such as the Budgerigar and Cockatiel. Bourke Parakeets are celebrated for their soft pastel colors, which are a blend of muted pinks, blues, and grays, making them one of the most visually appealing parrot species. Their gentle appearance, sociable nature, and relatively quiet demeanor make them a popular choice for bird enthusiasts and beginners alike. Bourke Parakeets are known for their sociable and peaceful disposition. They are generally less noisy compared to some other parrot species, which can be an important consideration for those living in close proximity to neighbors or in small living spaces. These birds are also relatively easy to care for and can make wonderful companions, especially for those new to avian ownership. GET YOUR COPY NOW TO CONTINUE READING THIS GREAT BOOK!!!
