your blog is so amazing and i'm glad it exists as someone who loves sooo many animals. so since ive been having parrots on the brain lately i humbly request underrated parrot faves. some parrots that you think are really cool and interesting or have really unique patterns/coloration but you feel like not enough people know about or appreciate properly for whatever reason.
Thank you so much boo boo. I have some parrots right here that I think you will like...

Night Parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis), family Psittaculidae, order Psittaciformes, found at various sites in arid regions of Australia
Once considered to be extinct, as there were no sightings of the bird between 1912 and 1979, since then the bird has only been seen very rarely.
The causes for the assumed decline of this bird are unknown.
Mainly terrestrial, nocturnal, feeds mostly on the seeds of Spinifex grasses.
