Jewels of Nature: The Parrots

Eastern Rosella

The Library has recently purchased this magnificent volume for the national collection. Jewels of Nature: The Parrots (volume 1) contains 60 paintings of parrots in their natural habitat by Gordon K. Hanley and 62 matching, life-sized studies. Each accompanying text is written by one of seven leading world experts on parrots. The edition is limited to 2000 sets worldwide.

The Jewels of Nature project was specially designed to create a perpetual endowment fund that will ensure continuous financial support for parrot conservation.

The National Library is very pleased with the addition of this very substantial work on parrots to the National Collection.
