Vanished and Vanishing Parrots: Profiling Extinct and Endangered Species

by Joseph M. Forshaw and Frank Knight

Joseph M. Forshaw, one of the world's leading authorities on parrots, calls attention to the threats they face: They are one of the most endangered groups of birds, with a growing number of species nearing extinction. The main threats arise from habitat loss through deforestation and agricultural development and from the taking of birds for the international live-bird trade.
