Articles about parrots

Under this tab you will find descriptions of a large number of parrot species, which are described in more detail.

Some articles are all-round descriptions of one or more species and possibly associated subspecies, other articles describe an entire genus with associated species and subspecies.

A number of the articles are long, in-depth articles, where a closer knowledge of keeping the individual species in human care really can be obtained, based on my acquired experiences and knowledge in general.

Several of the in-depth articles have the character of being breeding reports.

The described parrot species, etc., appear in separate subtabs and currently include following:

Parrot species from Africa:

• Lovebirds - about the entire genus Agapornis.

Parrot species from Asia:

• Tanygnathus parrots – with focus on the taxonomy of the Blue-naped Parrot (Tanygnatus lucionensis).

Parrot species from Oceania:

• Bluebonnet Parakeets - about the entire genus Northiella.
• Swift Parrot.
• Eclectus Parrots - about the entire genus Eclectus.

Parrot species from South America:
