The book comprises forty-two lithographic plates, each depicting different species of parrots in vivid detail. Lear's work not only serves as an artistic representation but also strives to provide valuable information about each species’ characteristics. The illustrations include a wide variety of parrots, from familiar species like the Blue and Yellow Macaw to lesser-known ones like the Abyssinian Parrakeet.
