Thick-Billed Parrots: Mexico's Colorful Mystery

We’re traveling to Mexico to explore the mysteriousness of the thick-billed parrot! Hosts Rick and Ebone explain how this red and green bird that was once found in a handful of regions in the Southwest is now reduced to an endangered population in the mountain forests of Northwest Mexico. Later, Amazing Wildlife is joined by Dr. Nadine Lamberski from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. Nadine explains the current conservationist plan which includes using information about the thick-billed parrots migratory patterns to help improve its chances for survival in the wild.
