This magazine was started by Vera and David Dennison in 1989, and is now under the management of Dennison Publishing. The Avizandum has grown in leaps and bounds over the past 27 years and is forever setting new standards. This magazine is the main source of information and the main means of communication between keepers and breeders of pet and aviary birds in South Africa and Namibia. Avizandum’s goal is to produce a monthly magazine of international quality for South African aviculturists and other aviculturists around the world. Avizandum encourages adverts from suppliers of quality products and services to the avicultural and pet industry, thus enabling breeders and keepers of pet and aviary birds to source their requirements quickly and easily. Avizandum is published monthly for the private consideration of anyone who is interested in the care and breeding of birds. As pets, large parrots are certainly bold, eye-catching, dynamic companions. However, not every large bird is a good pet, and not every bird lover is suited to being a large parrot owner. Parrots are members of the order Psittaciformes, which includes more than 350 bird species, including parakeets, macaws, cockatiels and cockatoos, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). The beautiful Lilac-crowned Amazon is endemic to the Pacific slopes of Mexico, from southeastern Sonora and southwest Chihuahua to southern Oaxaca, where they mostly inhabit humid pine-oak forests up to about 1,800 meters elevation. The lead up to the breeding season is very important, as this is where the birds gain their fitness and vigour, so that they can go through the breeding cycle and support multiple nests of young birds, without becoming run down and either leaving the nest or dying. They are large parrots with impressive white plumage. Not only are they among the largest parrots in the world, they also have amazing personalities. The Scarlet Macaws have especially long tails, which are often as long as their bodies. The Chattering Lory is a member of the genus Lorius. The members of this genus is unmistakable: large, stocky lories with longish, broad tails. All species have green wings, and red predominates in the body plumage. The Hawk-headed Parrot is the only member in its genus and has for many years baffled taxonomists and naturalists regarding its relationship with other parrots. For some years Arthur Alfred Prestwich was secretary of the British Avicultural Society, publisher of the prestigious Avicultural Magazine, which first appeared in print in 1894; the name of the society gave rise to the term aviculture, or the care and keeping of birds.
