Parrots of the World

BiologyBase Checklist Index  


compiled by Robert B. Hole, Jr.

The following is a simple checklist of the Psittaciformes, the Parrots of the world. It is a rather long list, and so is divided into several parts (though see below). I'm sure there are inaccuracies and typographical errors in this document. I hope you will bring any such to my attention. Taxonomic changes will be appreciated, especially when accompanied by a reference. Parrot related gifts of potential interest
