The Bald and the Beautiful
Birders were aflutter when the bald parrot’s discovery was announced in 2002, largely because few people could believe such a large and colorful bird could go unnoticed by science.
The parrot is known from only two regions of the Brazilian Amazon: the Lower Madeira River and the headwaters of the Tapajós River. Both habitats are under threat from logging, WWF says.
