	about
		Few articles have been written concerning N.Z. parrots in Parrot Society of Australia News in the past, it therefore appears timely to relate the present situation, with the aim to increase awareness and appreciation for what are some of the most distinctive, specialised and, sadly, rarest parrots in the world.
		The Kea is the only true alpine parrot in the world and its distribution is confined to the alps and high country of the South Island.
		The smaller relative to the Kea is the less well known Kaka, a basically sombre, brown coloured parrot almost the size and shape of a Glossy Black Cockatoo with the same heavy, powerful bill ideal for ripping into wood in search of grubs and other invertebrate life.

	Eclectus Myths
		The myths that surround the eclectus parrot species may be an example of our inherent belief in the old adage that warns, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Surely a parrot species so breathtakingly beautiful to gaze upon could not be a desirable pet too.
		Finally, the myth that eclectus parrots do not talk, or that either males or females are not good talkers, seems to finally have been laid to rest.
		Eclectus parrots do not need our help to overcome the myths that have surrounded them for so long--they are proving themselves to be not only the most beautiful bird in the world, but the best bird buddy in the world as well...one devotee at a time.

	Parrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Parrots can be found in most of the warm parts of the world, including India, southeast Asia and west Africa, with one species, now extinct, in the United States (the Carolina Parakeet).

	Information about the types of Amazon Parrot species
		Though it is true that western parrot keepers have "consumed" many species for many years, it is also true that governments in countries where parrots are native, but are in decline, are themselves now guilty of allowing the "wastage" to continue in their own lands.
		Parrots form a quite readily identifiable group of birds by virtue of their beak shape--they are often referred to as hookbills.
		Amazon parrots are found in a wide range of habitats from rainforests to open savanna.

	Original Artwork: Pal Varga: Red-necked Parrot

		As their name suggests, Red-necked Parrots sport a bright red bib.

	Basic Parrot Care
		The same is true with sweat, dirt, food residue, etc. Daily or weekly showers are often relished by most parrots and will help to control dust and dander, as well as provide needed moisture to parrots who may be prone to feather picking.
		This list is simply a product of my research, talking to other bird people, and my own experiences with my own parrots.

		They do not have a true blue color pigment; rather, the blue color is a result of light reflecting off the so-called "blue layer" in their feathers, just as it does in other parrots with areas of blue plumage.
		The natural sounds made by these parrots are not especially loud or disturbing-being comprised mainly of a series of whistles, although they have a harsher call warning of danger.
		Probably the most familiar of all parrots, and undeniably the most talented talker of the entire family, the Grey Parrot has an unmistakable appearance.

	Parrot Portfolio II
		The World Parrot Trust and its members wish to be recognised as the 'True Friends of the Parrots', and to win over the majority of aviculturists to its point of view.
		In 1994 we were able to send one of our four Parrot Buses (created in partnership with Paul Butler of RARE Centre) to St Vincent, where it is used to educate the island's children about the importance of preserving the remaining rainforest, not just for the parrots, but to ensure the island's water supply.
		When the World Parrot Trust began to support this species in 1990 it was the least numerous parrot in the world, with only about 15 individuals left in the wild and none in captivity.

	Psittaciformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The order Psittaciformes (Parrots) includes about 353 species of bird which are generally grouped into two families: the Cacatuidae or cockatoos, and the Psittacidae or true parrots.
		The diversity of Psittaciformes in South America and Australasia suggests that the order has a Gondwanian origin.
		In general, an area which has, relative to other areas, a great concentration of different species within a particular family is likely to be the original ancestral home of that family.
