Download or read book Thinking Like a Parrot written by Alan B. Bond and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two experts on wild parrot cognition, a close look at the intelligence, social behavior, and conservation of these widely threatened birds. People form enduring emotional bonds with other animal species, such as dogs, cats, and horses. For the most part, these are domesticated animals, with one notable exception: many people form close and supportive relationships with parrots, even though these amusing and curious birds remain thoroughly wild creatures. What enables this unique group of animals to form social bonds with people, and what does this mean for their survival? In Thinking like a Parrot, Alan B. Bond and Judy Diamond look beyond much of the standard work on captive parrots to the mischievous, inquisitive, and astonishingly vocal parrots of the wild. Focusing on the psychology and ecology of wild parrots, Bond and Diamond document their distinctive social behavior, sophisticated cognition, and extraordinary vocal abilities. Also included are short vignettes—field notes on the natural history and behavior of both rare and widely distributed species, from the neotropical crimson-fronted parakeet to New Zealand’s flightless, ground-dwelling kākāpō. This composite approach makes clear that the behavior of captive parrots is grounded in the birds’ wild ecology and evolution, revealing that parrots’ ability to bond with people is an evolutionary accident, a by-product of the intense sociality and flexible behavior that characterize their lives. Despite their adaptability and intelligence, however, nearly all large parrot species are rare, threatened, or endangered. To successfully manage and restore these wild populations, Bond and Diamond argue, we must develop a fuller understanding of their biology and the complex set of ecological and behavioral traits that has led to their vulnerability. Spanning the global distribution of parrot species, Thinking like a Parrot is rich with surprising insights into parrot intelligence, flexibility, and—even in the face of threats—resilience.

Download or read book Holy Parrot written by Angel A and published by Angel's Leap PTY LTD. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angel A’s bold second novel, after Mary Poser, chronicles Australian research student Leonard Lumière’s head-spinning time in Buritaca, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, and a case of parrot-proclaimed divinity. Maria Santos, sixteen and claiming to be a pregnant virgin seeks refuge in Leo’s lab after escaping her father Gustavo’s violent reaction to the news. Gabriel, Maria’s “holy parrot,” attests that Maria is nothing less than the mother of a new savior. Through their Australian protagonist’s eyes, Angel A takes readers on a wonderful journey into Latin American magical realism with HOLY PARROT. The Colombian setting, with its jungles and beaches, forms a perfectly lush backdrop to all the fascinating and vibrant characters populating the book. The meshing of Indigenous traditions with Catholic – and Gnostic – mysticism is perfectly primed to stick in the reader’s mind for days afterwards. People who love reading about culture, history, religion, science, and nature will love this captivating novel. 2023 The Brew Seal of Excellence 2023 Literary Titan 5-star book award 2023 Readers' Favorite 5-star book award 2023 Indie BRAG Medallion 2023 Firebird Book Award Winner (three categories) 2023 Nautilus Silver Book Award Winner 2023 International Impact Book Awards Winner 2023 Hawthorn Prize Finalist 2023 Maxy Awards Finalist 2023 London Book Festival Runner-Up 2023 New York Book Festival Runner-Up 2023 Awesome Indies 5-star book award 2023 Florida Authors And Publishers Association bronze award 2023 COVR Visionary Fiction Award Winner 2023 San Francisco Book Awards Honorable Mention 2023 Awesome Indies Seal of Excellence 2023 Living Now Silver Evergreen Book Medal For Fiction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, it would not have been impossible to encounter an elephant or a kangaroo making its way down the Strand, heading towards the menagerie of Mr. Pidcock at the Exeter Change. Pidcock's was just one of a number of commercial menagerists who plied their trade in London in this period the predecessors to the zoological societies of the Victorian era. As the British Empire expanded and seaborne trade flooded into London's ports, the menagerists gained access to animals from the most far-flung corners of the globe, and these strange creatures became the objects of fascination and wonder. Many aristocratic families sought to create their own private menageries with which to entertain their guests, while for the less well-heeled, touring exhibitions of exotic creatures both alive and dead satisfied their curiosity for the animal world. While many exotic creatures were treasured as a form of spectacle, others fared less well turtles went into soups and civet cats were sought after for ingredients for perfume. In this entertaining and enlightening book, Plumb introduces the many tales of exotic animals in London.
