Parrots are a group of birds that like all species of wildlife are suffering under the continual exploitation of the wild environment by man.  Unfortunately, they are also a group in which most species are desirable in aviculture and the pet trade.  So, Parrots as a group possibly suffers the most by way of man’s greed.

In Australia, much of the land has altered with the colonization by England.  Land has been indiscriminately cleared.  Consequently most species of parrot have been affected dramatically.  Not all species have suffered, some have benefited by the introduction of water sources for stock, but by in large our impact has been detrimental.

One of the major concerns is the continued clearing of land and also many farmers obsession to take out old and in some cases, dead trees.  The farmer is ignorant of the fact that old live trees and dead trees provide most of the nest sites for the majority of Australian species of parrot and many other forms of wildlife.  This also holds true for other parts of the world.
   

It is hoped that some of the profits in selling these photographs can be channeled back into the study and conservation of these species globally.
