I am not inclined to speculate, but I sure hope so. If you were a farmer would you want hundreds of scientists and ornithologists not to mention the press stomping all over your land if you knew you had them on your property? I dunno.

One can only hope Nathan .
They are/were a shy bird and flocked as pairs or small family groups so hopefully this has helped them to find places away from civilisation where perhaps small populations still exist .

Deb,
The book I was reading was Glimps of paradise The quest for the beautifual parrakeet. It is a very good book. And I strongly believe that the paradise parrot still exists.
Thanks Nathan
