Does anyone accept the Editors' T-shirt Challenge to write an Entry on Parrots?

I know MMF has plans to write about the Ring Necked Parakeet - see A13980008 and the PR thread attached...

We do have Entries on particular types of parrot, but not on parrots as a whole. Excellent linking opportunities!

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.

Then there's the BBC being taken in by outrageous claims about a parrot through not checking the story carefully enough:

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...
Not another UP?
