Parrots 2008 (Calendar) by: Firefly Books publisher: Firefly Books released: 2007-06-21 ISBN: 1552973182 $13.99

Parrots are admired for their brilliant coloration, gregarious nature and remarkable intelligence. They are communal creatures that gather in small groups or flocks of 1000 or more atop the forest canopy, in woodland clearings or in cliffsides, filling the air with their loud screeches. Severely endangered, many parrot species are now captive-bred and available to enjoy as pets, including cockatiels, budgerigars, parakeets and the larger birds such as Amazons and African Greys. In Parrots 2008 world-renowned wildlife photographers create a year-long gallery of stunning images of parrots in their natural habitat and as they are rarely seen. Informative captions shed further light on these spectacular creatures.

Very nicely photographed parrots and lots of dates/moon phases/information. I use this to write in important meetings, etc. Overall a great buy.

Beautiful and informative- you'll love it.
