Parrot Researchers Group on Google Groups



Note: The Parrot Researchers Group's primary function is to provide communications amongst researchers. This is not a group for pet owners, aviary, sanctuary or rescue of parrots. There are many other options for those topics, and if the applicant wishes, we may be able to supply pertinent links.

The mission of the Parrot Researchers Group (PRG; formerly known also as Working Group Psittaciformes or as Research Coordination Committee on Parrots) group is to establish and promote research needs and priorities, with particular attention to regional conservation strategies to the parrots of the world. To achieve this, the PRG

1) Promotes parrot research,

2) Establishes research needs and priorities, with particular attention to regional conservation strategies,

3) Identifies and addresses barriers to effective research and conservation of parrots (Psittaciformes).

The PRG is characterised by a regional approach, being organised in four regions (African, Australasian, Neotropical, and Indo-Malayan), a Wild Parrot Veterinary Section, and a Secretary Office that coordinates joint work. The Co-ordinators of the regions and sections and the Secretary are elected by all members every four years (last time in Nov 2018).

Membership will not be considered until the questionnaire/survey is completed.
