Parrot Culture

Traces the history of parrots in Europe from the Graeco-Roman love of oriental luxury, through the age of New World exploration, to the contemporary ecological crisis of globalism. This book identifies the poignant irony in the way parrots became ubiquitous as symbols and mascots, while suffering extinction at the hands of those who desired them.
