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 divorce 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. In 1989 she was a cofounder of the World Parrot Trust, editing its magazine, ''PsittaScene'', until 2004.〔(Parrots International Symposium 2008: Speakers )〕〔LaFay, Laura. (2002). Parrot people. Rosemary Low: no-nonsense parrot lover and author. ParrotChronicles.com () accessed 23 March 2009.〕 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.”〔 ==Publications== As well as hundreds of articles and scientific papers, books authored or coauthored by Low include: * 1968 – ''Aviary Birds''.
