Today I read about update status of six parrots:
This is the last parrot species which still lives in Mascarane. All other ones are extinct and this is a miracle that echo parakeets survived. In 1986 there were known only 10-12 these parrots. Hopefully this number increases. In 2008 were 362 echo parakeets.
- Echo parakeet - vulnerable (VU)

- Blue-fronted amazon - near threatened (NT)
- Imperial amazon - critically endangered (CR)
- Spix's macaw - extinct in the wild (EW)
They have been extinct in the wild since 2000 but there were a chance to find the last population. Now we are sure - all Spix's macaws are only in capitive. They will probably be release in few years
- Blue-eared lory - near threatened (NT)
- Wallace's hanging parrot - vulnerable (VU)
