Parrots and cockatoos are among the most conspicuous birds in Australia. They are everywhere and often in large numbers. These extraordinary birds make their home in habitats ranging from the dense rainforests of the tropical north to the cold, wind-swept southern coastlines and across the arid desert interior.

Featuring unusual parrot behaviours never before filmed, David Parer and Elizabeth Parer-Cook's "Australia: Land of Parrots" explores the diverse and spectacular realm of parrots and cockatoos across the many varied landscapes of the island continent. Inhospitable forces of nature - cyclones, drought, flood and fire - shape their lives as readily as habitat destruction and the unwitting abundance of food and water provided by farming practices. From the humble Budgerigar to the giant Palm Cockatoo, these smart, adaptable and stunningly beautiful birds will amaze you.
