A captivating story of the remarkable, but critically endangered, swift parrot - one of the fastest parrots in the world!

Swifty faces many threats and dangers, but she must return home. Will she make it?
Fly with Swifty in this beautifully illustrated story, and learn how to spot a swift parrot and help protect them.
