Enclosing some links on the subject of New and Old World Parrots.

It is something I had to look up so thought I'd link it for others.

Thank you, K, very interesting reading! Only two of my six birds are New World Parrots, just my quakers.

4 Old World, 1 New World. Only my Pionus is NW. Of the birds I've had in the past, all but a couple have been Old World as well.

I am so New World and worst yet, I'm an Amazon Snob. Why, because Amazon's Have More Fun. An Amazon in bright Sun Light, truly breath-taking.

We have both, but I'm partial to the Old World species. Love my conures and parrotlets, but the Poicephalus species have my heart!

I started off more interested in Old Worlders, but so far every time I connect with a bird I meet (I dig you, you dig me, we seem to get each other), it's another type of Amazon. They're insidious, lol.
