Defenders’ efforts to combat the illegal parrot trade in Mexico are working. Data on the number of birds seized by authorities over the past eight years show the illegal bird trade is declining. Last year only 566 parrots were seized by authorities, down nearly a third from the year before and the lowest number in almost ten years!

BARBARA STOUTENBURGH PHOTO | A noisy group of blue-crowned parakeets squabbles at the feeder.
As our lives have slowed down, Barbara and I have been spending our winter months down in Florida, where we follow our feathered friends by looking for them as we travel around on the shores or inland, but mostly by enjoying them daily as they visit our feeders.

Blue and Gold macaws getting a snack from a local friend in Caracas, Venezuela. Caracas has its flaws but the city is an unusual, extraordinary and exotic place. Images like these captured in the Santa Monica district of Caracas both amaze and console us. These Blue and Gold macaws (Ara ararauna) can be seen at sunset during the endless traffic hours Caracas suffers in areas like Los Próceres, el Laguito del Circulo Militar, Santa Mónica, Cumbres de Curumo, Prados del Este, Macaracuay, Colinas de Bello Monte, Los Chaguaramos and Los Próceres. Observations are that these macaws migrate at the end of every day to the Mariposa and Potrerito areas of the city. A free show for the many commuters and residents of the area that bother to look out of their windows.
