As a family, they are among the most colorful of birds. They're curious, personable, and extremely intelligent. And they talk. Is there any truth behind serious scientific claims that parrots may really understand what they are saying? Or are they only "parroting" what they hear? This program visits some extraordinary parrots and their owners, and takes a look at parrots in the wild to reveal the reasons behind our infatuation with them and the various dilemmas this love affair has created.

Parrots and cockatoos are among the most conspicuous birds in Australia. They are everywhere and often in large numbers. These extraordinary birds make their home in habitats ranging from the dense rainforests of the tropical north to the cold, wind-swept southern coastlines and across the arid desert interior. Featuring unusual parrot behaviours never before filmed, David Parer and Elizabeth Parer-Cook's "Australia: Land of Parrots" explores the diverse and spectacular realm of parrots and cockatoos across the many varied landscapes of the island continent.
