Brussels - As debate rages in Europe over genetically- modified maize and “Frankenstein’s potatoes,” the continent is quietly moving towards a different new species: the Euro-parrot. “Ring-necked parakeets in Europe are isolated from the native population, so they will develop along their own evolutionary path. Given enough time, that should lead to the development of separate species,” Graham Madge of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Read on…

Thanks to the media attention we received a lot of sightings of the macaws today. Haarlem and surrounding areas are really supporting us and that makes us feel a lot better.

With the help of the reports today we found the older youngster. It is all right and is taken care of by its parents. They have settled near Kenau park. Read on…

After he was set free at the bird sanctuary we have seen the young macaw for two days around the stadskweektuinen in Haarlem. Wednesday afternoon he was very frightened of man in animal ambulance suits. When they arrived the young macaw flew to another higher tree from where it was impossible to reach him with a net.

We have tried to follow the young macaw for as long as possible. It flew from tree to tree and gained more height along the way. Finally it reached the crown of one of the Poplar trees that surround the stadskweektuinen and the nearby public vegetable gardens. At nightfall the macaw flew out of sight and it was impossible to determine where it spend the night. If we did we could possibly have gotten it down with the help of the fire department.

Next day I went out on my bike in the neighbourhood and at noon the young macaw was heard again. He was flying around the stadskweektuinen and was calling out in search of his parents. Although the macaws are regular visitors of this garden they were not the last couple of days. That would have facilitated the reunion of the family a great deal. Read on…

This evening we received a message that one of the young macaws was attacked by a dog and picked up by the Animal Ambulance (Dutch RSPCA) After fledging yesterday morning the young faced a stormy night. The youngest bird probably fell out of a tree. The bird was brought in at the local bird sanctuary. Locally known as Vogel Rampen Fonds. Read on…
