If you have seen wild parrots you can participate in the collection of information about the roosting, nesting, and feeding habits of parrots.
Scientists and researchers need your information to be as complete as possible. If you are not sure about the species please refer to this Identification Guide.
If you find a dead parrot in the wild, please e-mail with the date and location. The scientists and researchers will try to arrange the pick-up of the parrot’s body. The remains will be used to obtain DNA for analysis.
