Greene's Parrots Screensaver
Looking for a unique
Parrot Screensaver?
Greene's Parrots Screensaver contains
40 images of parrots, parakeets, lories and cockatoos
from William Thomas Greene's - Parrots
in Captivity. Parrots in Captivity was published
in three volumes. Volumes one and two were issued in
eighteen parts in 1883. Volume three was issued in
1887. The illustrations were done by Alexander F. (Frank)
Lydon. Master woodblock printer, Benjamin Fawcett,
used the illustrations to make engravings for the final
colored prints. W. T. Greene provided the text for
the book.
Intact copies of Parrots in Captivity are
very rare, as only one edition was ever printed.
Extra features: Leave
a sticky note on your PC. Export any image as a wallpaper.

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. |
The
CNET editor made a slight error. Captions are
provided
in the
screensaver, but not in the exported wallpaper
images.
