Yacolt Parrot Picture

This is one of the current pictures taken of the Yacolt Parrots rebuilding their nests after they had been torn down a few weeks ago.

As you can see they are starting and attempting to rebuild their nest once again on the power lines. This is just one of the many nests starting to come up around this tiny town.

Hopefully we can figure out a solution soon to this problem.

Updated: Interview with Birdchannel

Today there was an interview with birdchannel.com. They are a website dedicated to the bird community and keeping up with the news and just the every day lives of bird lovers and their companions.

The interview was about the attempt to rescue the parrots of Yacolt.

Today was basically surveying the area as to where the community group's nests used to be located and seeing where they go to find shelter in an attempt to figure out a way to get the birds off of the power lines.

The article located at birdchannel can be found here: Volunteers Work To Save Yacolt Quaker Parrots

That's all for today's update.

Thank you for all your support.

Ballad of the Brooklyn Parrots: The (Definitive) Full-Motion Version! Thursday, April 10, 2008

The song "The Ballad of the Brooklyn Parrots" has evolved significantly from its humble roots as a free MP3 file. First folks asked for a Youtube version, so still photographs were added to the track. Then folks began asking for actual MTV-style moving images to accompany the song: the resulting video is embedded below: enjoy! -- and remember, "they're mighty loud and they're mighty raucous; the scientists call them Myiopsitta Monachus!" - Steve Baldwin Founder of Brooklyn Parrots .com

Interview with Birdchannel

Birdchannel put out one more article on the Yacolt Parrots today.

We are currently trying to get more nesting boxes for the Parrots in hopes to shield them from the harsh weather that is making it's way into this tiny town.

A lot of residents have been really supportive and giving permission to put nesting boxes up in their yards and properties.

The conditions are getting worse for this type of work, hopefully they will lighten or we will be done soon.

I definitely don't want to see any other Parrots fall because of this weather. Let's hope that we can save the remaining community of birds.

You can find the article from Birdchannel located here: Birdchannel Update Article

Thank you to all of my volunteers and people giving donations of supplies. It is very much appreciated.
