Lories and lorikeets have been the focus of increased interest in recent years. Always prized for their spectacular colouration and confiding ways, parrots of this group are becoming more accessible, thanks to advances in care and breeding methods. The author of this book has had first hand experience of these developments. Thus this handbook summarises current practices regarding the housing, diet and general care. The discussions of captive breeding, artificial incubation and hand-rearing given here have been proved successful with a large lory collection. The Handbook concludes with a survey of all the Loriinae species and subspecies, giving current status and avicultural data for each. The pictorial component of this work, 131 colour photographs and drawings, offers a comprehensive gallery of the lory and lorikeet forms available to aviculture.
