Science & Nature Children’s Books Australiana
Parrots of the World, written by William T. Cooper and Joseph M. Forshaw, is a comprehensive non‑fiction picture book that explores the diverse species of parrots across the globe. The richly illustrated volume combines scientific detail with vivid artwork, making it appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in pets, wildlife, and ornithology.
Published in 1989 by Hancock House Publishers in Australia, this third‑edition hardcover offers 672 pages of full‑color illustrations and expert commentary on bird biology, Australian species, and global conservation. The book’s dust jacket and illustrated format enhance its appeal as a reference and coffee‑table piece for bird enthusiasts.
The copy is in very good condition, coming from a smoke‑free home with clean, tidy pages and a tight binding. A minor page‑edge mark is present on a rare page, but there are no dog‑ears, writing, or other blemishes. The dust jacket is intact and adds to the overall presentation.
