“This book is the first monographic treatment of the Australian species of brush-tongued parrots in the sub-family Loriinae. Although members of this sub-family range throughout Australasia, Oceania and parts of Indonesia, the Australian species would appear to have the strongest captive populations. The survival of wild populations of Australian lorikeets is not threatened but other groups are not so secure. Techniques developed by people such as Stan Sindel may have profound value for the future survival of lorikeets such as some of the Pacific island forms.”
