Encyclopedia of the Lories

Most of Rosemary Low's life has been devoted to the care of parrots, as a breeder, since the age of twelve, and as a curator of two of the world's largest parrot collections. She spent nearly nine years in the Canary Islands working with more than 200 parrot species at Loro Parque (Tenerife) and Palmitos Park (Gran Canaria). During this time she continued to maintain her own collection, mainly of lories and Amazon parrots. She is now a freelance aviculture writer for magazines worldwide; her articles and photographs appear in sixteen magazines on a regular basis. She is the author of more than twenty books on aviculture, some of which have been translated into German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Since 1978, she has been a speaker at numerous avicultural conventions worldwide.
