One day my wildlife rehabilitator friend Marilyn brought me a black shoebox decorated with 6 or 8 quarter-sized holes. I quickly grabbed the little delinquent, put him in a spare parrot cage, and brought him into the house. He’d always come back inside, and spend the night in his parrot cage. He was a quick study.)

It’s just that when summer is over and most wildlife rehabilitators are fried, this is the kind of thing that will make most of us fall to our knees, choking with laughter, tears spurting from our eyes. That’s what we call it when you try to get a hold of wildlife that the idiot in possession thinks they can take care of better than you.”.

They can’t provide the same ecosystem value as natural forest and woodland but in places intensely modifed by people, hedges are vital sanctuaries for birds and other wildlife. Although more than one parrot and parakeet can forage in hedgerows, this long-tailed green bird is the most common. Crimson-fronted Parakeet.

Urban environments are expanding rapidly, and with urbanization come both challenges and opportunities for wildlife. Because these “extra” neurons are predominantly located in the forebrain, large parrots and corvids have the same or greater forebrain neuron counts as monkeys with much larger brains.

The Red-rumped Parrot is a ground-feeding parrot – one of its other names is grass parrot. A more obvious explanation would have been that the bird is named for its discoverer, the Scottish naturalist Sir Edward Alexander Laughing (1740-1806). That sounds pretty cool. Maybe it is a younger bird.

All are Asian and characterized by a rather large, parrot-like bill used for feeding on seeds. However, Shanghai also has its resident birds, and these seem to be a good topic for the first post from Shanghai.
