THE ABACO PARROT: BEAUTIFUL, NOISY AND UNIQUE [Video]

I’ve posted quite often about Abaco’s unique ground-nesting parrots. They have their own page at ABACO PARROTS; and there’s a link in the right sidebar to a small illustrated booklet about them wot I writ in conjunction with Caroline Stahala. I have just found a very short bit of video footage that’s ideal for anyone who is extremely busy and /or has a short attention span. Spend a happy 10 seconds to  (a) admire the bright colours and (b) listen to the raucous cries of a flock of Abaco parrots.

    • Thanks, Dina. All those things, and joyously noisy… It’s amazing to think that they had reached the brink of extinction a few years ago, but have rallied to a sustainable breeding population, which increases annually. A small victory for conservation measures and for making their breeding grounds a National Park. RH
