Hello tweeties,

this week's edition of Birds in the News is now available for you to read and enjoy. This edition features a lovely image of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Regulus calendula, courtesy of my friend, Dave Rintoul, and it includes a lot of stories about Birds in Science that you will want to read!

I also just wrote up an important piece about parrot smuggling in Indonesia and how you can help stop it;

let's all unite in our effort to protect the birds we all love so much!
