Hi, Tweeters,

Thanks, everyone who wrote telling me about the Thick-Billed Parrot
re-introduction. I must confess that the failure of the plan was NOT what I
wanted to hear, but.........at least I know. It's a sad thing. Perhaps I got
so wired up about the successful re-introduction of whooping cranes and
condors (which is NOT a sure thing yet, but those projects are both on a good
footing) that I fully expected the parrots to make it, too.
I just hope that they are still being bred in captivity so that at a later
date, it can be tried again.
