The Cape Parrot (Poicephalus robustus) is the most endangered bird in South Africa, and the most endangered parrot in Africa. There are less than 1,000 remaining in the wild, restricted to small Afromontane forest patches along the south coast of Souh Africa. We are working everyday to save this iconic parrot species from extinction. We are currently battling an outbreak of Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease that is moving through the wild population.
Please join us in the Cape Parrot Project group on Facebook and help save this African parrot in peril...

@LuvDaSma It isn't sky! It's a mountain with trees. This is real footage and they are REALLY endangered. As few as 1000 left in the wild. Support the efforts to create a vaccine and recreate habitat lost!!

How did the Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease spread? Was it from captive bred parrots?
