  • According to Dictionary
    Extinction: The Parrots We’ve Lost By Desi Milpacher The definition of extinction is “the act or process of becoming extinct; a coming to an end or dying out: the extinction of a species.” Once extinction has been determined, there is usually no chance of a species recurring in a given ecosystem. In mankind’s active history of exploration, exploitation and settlement of new worlds, there has been much loss of natural resources. Parrots have suffered tremendously in this, with over twenty species having been permanently lost. And there are many more that are teetering on the edge, towards the interminable abyss. In this article we find out what happened to these lost treasures, learn which ones are currently being lost, and why this is important to our world. The Old and New Worlds and Their Lost Parrots Little is known of the natural history of most of the world’s extinct parrots, mainly because they disappeared before in-depth studies were conducted on them. It is generally believed, save the Central American macaws which were least known, that most fed on diets similar to today’s parrots (leaves, blossoms, seeds, nuts and fruits), frequented heavy forested areas and nested mainly in tree cavities. A number could not fly well, or were exceptionally tame, leading to their easy capture. Nearly all of these natural treasures vanished between the 18th and early 20th centuries, and the main reason for their loss was overhunting. Some lesser causes included egg collecting (popular with naturalists in the 19th century), diseases (introduced or endemic), drought, natural disasters, predation by introduced species, and habitat alternation.

    Frequently Asked Questions Parrot Species Listed Under the Endangered Species Act TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL FAQs .......................................................................................................................... 2 GENERAL FAQs ABOUT PARROTS ...................................................................................... 4 FAQs FOR PARROTS LISTED AS THREATENED .............................................................. 5 FAQs FOR PARROTS LISTED AS ENDANGERED .............................................................. 7 PARROT SPECIES LISTED UNDER THE ESA as of 5/9/2014 ........................................... 10 1 GENERAL FAQs What is the process for adding a species to the list of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)? In order for a plant or animal species can receive the protection provided under the ESA, it must be added to the Federal Lists of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife and Plants. A species is added to the list when it is determined to be endangered or threatened because of any of the following factors: a) the present or threatened destruction, modification or curtailment of its habitat or range; b) overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific or educational purposes; c) disease or predation; d) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or e) other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. An endangered species is defined as one “in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A threatened species is defined as one “likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” The process of listing begins in one of two ways: through the petition process or the candidate assessment process. The ESA provides that any interested person may petition the Secretary of the Interior to add a species to, or to remove a species from, the lists of threatened and endangered wildlife and plants.
