Author Biography: Rosemary Low has written twenty books on aviculture, mainly on parrots, including the standard reference Parrots, their care and breeding. Her books have been translated into five languages. She has kept birds since childhood, when she bred budgerigars. She has been fascinated by lories and lorikeets since 1971, when she started to keep them. During nine years in the Canary Islands, as curator of two of the world's largest parrot collections, almost all available lory species were in her care.
Rosemary Low has traveled widely, observing lories in the wild and in collections, and speaking at aviculture conventions in many counties. Intensely interested in conservation and the plight of birds in the wild, she has been editor of the World Parrot Trust's magazine PsittaScene, since its inception. She returned to the UK to live in 1995, where she writes for aviculture magazines worldwide and looks after her lory collection. |
