    The Meyer's Parrot Project has developed over the last four and a half
    years into an umbrella project designed to research and conserve all
    continental African parrots, including the Poicephalus parrots similar to
    the Meyer's, the Agapornis lovebirds, Rose-ringed Parakeet and Africa
    Grey Parrot.  The Meyer's Parrot has the widest distribution of any Africa
    parrot, exceeding that of the Rose-ringed  Parakeet and Red-faced
    Lovebird.  We are now planning an African Parrot Expedition for 2010,
    visiting all of the range states of the Meyer's Parrot and all other African
    parrots in order to evaluate their current distribution and status.  We will
    be filming and photographing the expedition and maintaining a daily
    logbook online.  Here at the research Centre for African Parrot
    Conservation, we are uniquely positioned to ensure the species survival
    in the wild of all African parrots through the derivation of comprehensive
    conservation plan based on current information.  Our current data bases
    are over 30 years old for most African parrot species!  For more
    information, please e-mail Steve Boyes, the project leader...

Imports of wild-caught birds into the Republic of South Africa continue,
even though the global community has recognised the dangers of
continued trade in wild birds and halted this trade.  Recently, we have
seen to EU ban wild bird imports, and Ecuador and Argentina have
banned parrot exports...For more info...Click here==>
