Cuba (twice), South America (twice), Europe and Morocco (once) and Bali (once). As if the Chachalaca and Magpie-Jay noises weren’t enough, there were also many pairs of White-fronted Parrots screeching as they flew overhead, though I never managed a photo of those. In other words, I travelled, sometimes every weekend.

This article is about the parrots we have, not the ones we wish we had. Yes, Germany has parrots, or parakeets to be more precise. A Birdy New Year! Here in Germany, we don’t wish we had. Because we never have had. Yes, the Egyptian Geese there are countable.

First, most of Europe’s owl species are breeding in Germany anyway and are better found at other times of the year. That, at least, is the case for most birders in North America, unless they reside in Florida and have no clue as to what a winter is anyway.

We do get two other species on rare occasions, with Parrot Crossbills from NE Europe usually showing up with a few observations each year and a Two-barred Crossbill (a species some call White-winged ) once every couple of years.

Monk Parakeet is the only parrot species that builds its own nest. Stephen Pruett-Jones, an evolutionary biologist who has extensively studied the Monk Parakeets of Chicago, only says that the nests offer a successful alternative to the tree hollows or palm trees utilized by other parrot species.

The former must have been difficult for this book; conceived during the pandemic, Ackerman still managed to visit wildlife centers, banding stations, and field stations in the United States, South American, and Europe.

It hasn’t achieved as much attention yet, presumably because people are rather preoccupied with wars brewing in Eastern Europe and missing airliners, but give it time. Is it best to spend a million dollars to save a single parrot in Tasmania or a large chunk of rainforest? Losing Europe’s vultures would matter a great deal.

We miss them all: the parrots, the pigeons, the moas and titan-hawks and stilt-owls and myriads of endlessly exotic avifauna we will never ever know again as they were when they graced this Earth. The prehistoric extinctions most famously include the megafaunal assemblages of Europe, the Americas, Australia and Madagascar.

The continent of Atlantis was about the size of today’s Western Europe, and it sunk into obscurity off the Iberian Peninsula some time between 700 – 750 AD.

Birds that are not easily grouped with others are put together in what I call the fun groups: “Dippers, Wren, accentors, oriole, starlings and waxwings” and “Kingfishers, cuckoos, Hoopoe, bee-eaters, Roller and parrot” (which are actually related, the authors tell us, as they are mostly “higher landbirds”).
