Question by Clumsical ~ABCA Borders not AKC Barbies~: Does anyone have a list of bird breeders (that include those that breed eclectus parrots)?
I am planning on getting an eclectus parrot sometime in the future (probably not the near future, but I guess you can say I’m already planning it). Anyways, I want to get from a breeder (I find it harder and harder to trust pet stores, especially with larger birds), and I want to find a list of them. I found one website that has a large list of bird breeders, but the list doesn’t include eclectus.

see http://www.birdbreeders.com/breedersearch.aspx Eclectus are about 30% of the way down the list of bird types.

Question by Ria: A detailed field guide to North American Birds?
I’m competing in ornithology at the middle school science olympiad. I need to know for every bird on this list: http://www.soinc.org/sites/default/files/ORNITHOLOGY11BirdListB:C.pdf
life history, distribution, anatomy and physiology, reproduction, habitat characteristics, ecology, diet, behavior, conservation, biogeography, niche, symbiotic relationships, trophic level, adaptive anatomy such as bill size and shape, migration, distribution or occurence.

I need a field guide to NORTH AMERICAN birds that contains at least some of these distinctions.
They recommend the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of NA, 2008, but it doesn’t have enough information.

Thank you!

Answer by Nigel Hall
If you have an iPhone or iPad try the new Peterson Birds of North America app. It includes all of the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of NA, along with additional information from the following books:

Peterson Reference Guide to Molt in North American Birds
Peterson Field Guides Hawks North America
Peterson Field Guides Hummingbirds of North America
Peterson Field Guides Warblers of North America
Peterson Field Guides Eastern Bird’s Nests
Peterson Field Guides Western Bird’s Nests
Peterson Field Guides Feeder Birds Eastern North America

Not all birds have information from all books, but there is much more than in the NA book.

Hope this helps.
