		<description><![CDATA[Measures being taken to halt the declining number of  wild Scarlet Macaws in the neotropics

The spectacular Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is one of several prominent macaws and large parrots in steep decline in the neotropics.  Habitat loss and nest robbing have reduced their numbers to critical lows, and some local populations have disappeared entirely.  Aviculture might be the key to saving some of those that remain.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eclectus Enigma
High in the canopy of the dense rain forests of Australasia lives one of nature's most extraordinary and beautiful birds, the Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus).  Although their strange behavior sets them apart from other birds, they are most well known for their brilliant and unusual colors.  The handsome males are a vibrant emerald green, while the elegant females are a dark ruby red, usually with a vest of violet or cobalt feathers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A truly remarkable thing happened on the Amorentia Estate, near Tzaneen, in the northern part of South Africa.  Howard Blight tells the story.

Early this year, a farm labourer, Johannes Ramadikela, found an endangered Cape Parrot flopping about on the ground near his house. He caught the bird and placed it in a box, noticing as he did so, a very nasty crack on the top of the bird's beak. It had obviously flown into something.]]></description>
