Low, Rosemary

Rosemary Low is a British aviculturist, ornithologist, conservationist, writer and expert on parrots. Low started her career as a writer for the magazine, Cage and Aviary Birds. At that time, she and her husband had a collection of about 50 parrots. Following their separation she spent nearly eight years in the Canary Islands where she was curator of two major collections of parrots, first at Loro Parque on Tenerife and subsequently at Palmitos Park on Gran Canaria. She served as editor of the PsittaScene Magazine published by the World Parrot Trust until 2004. She has stated that her three main goals are: “to widely publish information which will lead to a better standard of care for captive birds, to reduce the demand for wild-caught parrots, and to promote and assist with parrot conservation projects.”
