I am just in the process of finishing a UP, and can then do an entry on Parrots if you wish. It can either be an overview, or per genus, or per family... It shouldn't be too difficult. I'll have a look at the weekend, and see what I can do.

smiley - ok

I'll take this on, oevr the coming week. It could be a long one, as there are so many types of parrot, but I'll be as brief as possible.

It may even grow into something bigger...

smiley - groan Not another UP?
