Parrots / Los Pericos

Parrots, or pericos, are some of the most vocal and eye-catching birds on Earth. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the bird's colorful feathers and other parts of its anatomy, feeding habits, life cycle, and chick care. Its forest and jungle habitats are described, too. An Asian folk tale explains why some parrots can copy what people say. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this bilingual edition supports elementary-aged dual language learners with side-by-side English and Spanish text, captions, on-page definitions, and an index.
