Red-collared Lorikeet Photos © Etienne Van der Stricht







In a northern Australia near Sydney, hundreds of Red-collared lorikeets are tumbling from the trees in what appears to be a drunken stupor. Apparently inebriated, the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peter exhibits a truly professional and outstanding collection of video footage featuring parrots in the wild. This video is well balanced, with beautiful clips, information and mapped areas of his travels. It is a wonderful documentary, to be shared and enjoyed with the entire family. I would love to see more video, photos, and listen to stories of his adventures.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With a single word, my world was turned completely upside down…

How did it happen? About ten years back, I had been talking to my friend Wanda, a parrot aficionado with two African Greys. Knowing I adored cockatoos but had never owned one, the question came up - would I ever keep one? I answered that I would never consider buying a parrot, because even then I knew there were problems with too many unwanted birds whose owners simply couldn’t handle them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Centocow, a remote Catholic mission station in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, was founded in 1888, when Abbot Francis Pfanner purchased a small farm on the western bank of the Umzimkulu River. It was not far from here, on a farm on the opposite bank, near Creighton, that I grew up. On the farm, Menin - named after Menin Gate near Ypres, where two great-great-uncles fell - I spent most of my childhood years, and in the spirit of a farmboy, gained an appreciation of the flora and fauna that surrounded me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you spotted them in your area already? Chances are you are closer to a wild parrot than you might have imagined. In the USA and Europe, many major cities have one or two species of parrot living and breeding within their city limits. 10 European capitals, for example, hold psittacine populations.

The list is not confined just to capitals, though. California’s conglomerates are famous for their populations of Amazon and Conure species, many of which are endangered in their native Central and South American home ranges.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four orange-winged Amazons live in my aviary in Essex, in the United Kingdom - Archie and Lena, and Basil and Cybil - the former pair in their late thirties or early forties, the latter pair between seven and ten years old. Their fragmentary stories must be similar to that of many wild caught birds that change their homes for various reasons.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was early August 2007, and Albertos Alves Campos and his team-mates had scaled a cliff in the small mountain range of Serra do Estevão, Ceará State, in the dry north-east of Brazil. They stood quietly on a broad ledge near the top of the cliff, scanning the remnant patches of forest on the lower slopes, and they repeatedly played an audio recording of a parakeet, hoping to elicit a response from a real bird. Disappointingly, after many days of trying, they did not hear or see this parakeet, even though some of the local people they had interviewed have given diagnostic descriptions of the species.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Avian medicine is a young, challenging and fast developing field. It is a sad reflection that there is very little original research being undertaken in any of the UK veterinary schools into many of the new and emerging bird diseases. One of the things which make working as an avian vet genuinely exciting is the potential to discover new diseases, even if at the time one does not find all the answers.]]></description>
