Reply With QuoteMy a very pretty Amazon with that red brow. I want one of those!!!!
The Red-brow is found mainly in small groups in eastern Brazil in Alagoas and from Bahia and eastern Minas Gerais south to Rio de Janiero.
Conservation Status: The Red-brow was listed as CITES Appendix I on 2 June 1970. IUCN classifies the Red-brow endangered, with a small, fragmented range and total species occurrence over less than 5000 sq. km. In addition, the Red-brow has experienced continuing decline in observed areas, and in the extent and/or quality of habitat and number of mature individuals. IUCN estimates a total Red-brow population in the wild of 250 mature individuals or less.
Threats to Survival: Once a common parrot in south-eastern Brazil, the Red-brow is now altogether extinct across most of its original range due to deforestation and human encroachment. Unchecked habitat destruction compounded by exploitation for the local pet trade remains the driving force behind the Red-brow's decline in the wild.
Rosemary Low wrote in her monograph Endangered Parrots (1984):
"Were there as many as one dozen pairs in captivity there would be some spark of hope for the future of the Red-browned Amazon. Instead, there is none."

A Grey is a wild animal removed from the wild, bred to be companions. They are long removed from being able to take care of themselves but not so long as to forget at times they're still wild...so it's up to us to make sure we protect them. We're the reason they demand all this attention. We removed them from the wild. Jay

Such a beautiful bird! Maybe they could be saved if something were done for them the way it was for the California condor.<br><br>Post edited by: kittykittykitty, at: 2010/02/14 10:14
