Are London’s ring-necked parakeets a conservation win? They are an introduced boom, not a restored native. Cavity competition with starlings and bats is the local argument. Why do so many macaws remain threatened? Cavity trees come down with forest. The pet trade added a second cut. Spix’s macaw went extinct in the wild before a 2019–20s reintroduction attempt in Bahia.

They learn contact calls in flocks. Human-word mimicry is the lab and living-room version of a general vocal-learning kit shared with songbirds and hummingbirds. What did the World Parrot Trust change? Since 1989 it funded trade research, in-situ projects and the journal PsittaScene — a counterweight to avicultural magazines.

Kea pry, lories brush nectar, and hyacinth macaws crack palm nuts. The bill is a Swiss-army kinetic tool, not a single nutcracker. Parrot is one of 24 types in this animals atlas. The pages treat it as a full system -- history, anatomy, operating principles, culture, icons, future pressure and market shape -- not a ranking of a best species.

The order on the card is year, line, figure. Parrot is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo.2017
