'This is the authoritative work on an important and interesting group of birds. M. K. Rowan sets out in comprehensive detail the habitat, distribution, frequency, description, social organisation, maintenance activities, reproduction, population dynamics, and relations with man of every Southern African member of the four orders of birds under review (Columbiformes, Psittaciformes, Musophagiformes, Cuculiformes). The area covered is South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho.
As Everard Read, Chairman of the John Voelcker Bird Book Fund, writes in his Foreword: "Most people interested in our bird life are content with the information in 'Roberts', but there are others, apart from the professionals, who have more than an elementary interest and require specialised books. Thus The Doves, Parrots, Louries and Cuckoos of Southern Africa fills a long-felt need."
There are 8 beautiful plates of illustrations by Graeme Arnott, distribution maps, and line drawings.'
