No other book on Lories and lorikeets contains as much in depth information as Hancock House Encyclopedia of the Lories by Rosemary Low.

Rosemary Low is a British aviculturist, ornithologist and conservationist who is also the world’s leading expert on Lories and lorikeets among other group of parrots. Book is divided into 4 parts. Part 1 starts with an alphabetical listing of topics that covers different aspects of properly keeping and breeding lories. This includes comprehensive coverage of their diets, diseases, hand-rearing, breeding, conservation and their various habits observed in the wild and in aviculture all over the world.

There is also a section of 48 pages containing high quality photographs of different species. Part 2 deals with species accounts of all lories along with their range maps. Each species account contains its description, weight and length measurements, its natural history and detailed information about that species in aviculture. Important tables are also present throughout the book.

Part 3 and 4 are smaller sections at the end of book dealing with information about lorikeets in Australian gardens and a gazetteer respectively.

Recommendation:

No parrot enthusiast should be without this ultimate reference. Hancock House Encyclopedia of the Lories is equally important to ornithologists as it is to aviculturists and zookeepers. A MUST HAVE title.
