 WWF | Wildlife Trade | FAQs | Parrot Trade
Parrots most commonly live in tropical and semi-tropical regions, but they can be found all over the globe, from New Zealand to Cameroon to Brazil to Mexico.
Because large parrots such as macaws and cockatoos do not produce large numbers of offspring and cannot rebuild their wild populations quickly, excessive trade has been detrimental to the long-term survival of some species.
For consumers who wish to own a pet parrot, captive-bred species make the best choice because they are usually healthier and tamer than their wild counterparts, they generally enter trade legally, and they are less likely to constitute a drain on wild populations.

 Charlie Chan, by Marv Lachman
Charlie continues to massacre English in The Chinese Parrot (1926), referring to something as “undubitable.” He demonstrates great stoicism in the face of racial slurs, while using his Chinese origins to pretend to be a cook, for purposes of detections.
Chinese have saying that applies: ‘He who rides on tiger can not dismount.’ “ He expresses some of his philosophy of detection: “Detective business consist of one unsignificant (sic) detail placed beside other of same.

 Anna May Wong (Spotlight #2) - Yellowworld Forums
She would play hooky from Chinese school to watch movies being shot whenever a production was filming on location in Chinatown, and her fascination with this sight cemented her determination to become a movie star.
Now, long after being relegated to the precincts of camp and the margins of film history, she is being celebrated with the U.S. rerelease of her erotic triumph as Shosho in the 1929 British silent "Picadilly." Her eclectic elegance, both on and off screen, is exerting a renewed influence on fashion.
Chinese critics had long castigated the roles she accepted (often women of loose morals) as insulting to the national character; the fact that she frequently performed bare-legged was itself cause for scandal.
