With a bold yellow-green body, bright crimson beak and deep blue-black wings, the regent parrot is a striking native bird that is special to many people. But it's a vulnerable species which has declined in numbers over the past 50 years because of a loss of habitat, an increase in nest competition and more hazards and predators in its flight path. It’s estimated that only 400 breeding pairs of regent parrots are left in the wild in SA. What are your thoughts LiveTribers? Why has the regent parrot become a vulnerable species?
