Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With bright colors and raucous tongues, parrots have always triggered flights of imagination. This screensaver offers 40 images of parrots, parakeets, lories, and cockatoos taken from a classic 120-year-old illustrated volume, William Thomas Greene's "Parrots in Captivity." The software offers a broad feature set for a free download, allowing users to control image order, select transition effects, and change the interval between images. Any of the pictures can be used as a desktop image, and the software allows users to post a virtual sticky note on the screen. No soundtrack is included, however. We also would like to see captions accompanying the images, labeling the birds' species. The trial version displays only a third of the images. For nature lovers or anyone with a nostalgia for pirate tales, this download may well be worth a try.Publisher's description
