Program: Nature #2506
Few people have ever laid eyes on Australia's spectacular and elusive palm cockatoo. Its deliberate use of drumming to attract a mate is just one of the wild behaviors captured up close in "Parrots in the Land of Oz," premiering on PBS Sunday, January 27 at 8 p.m. (check local listings). Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham narrates the film, part of the 26th season of "NATURE," the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS. Major corporate support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. and Toyota. For more information, visit pbs.org/nature
