Parrots have the distinction—or misfortune, depending on how you look at it—of being the first animal to be exported from the New World to the Old. According to Peter Martyr, Columbus on his first voyage carried back to Spain “fortie” parrots “of moste liuely and delectable coloures” (A3v); on his second voyage he returned with even more. Other explorers followed suit, electrifying European spectators with a parade of strange, colorful birds from far away. The Florentine banker Bartolomeo Marchioni found himself in Lisbon in 1501, when Cabral returned in triumph from his discovery of Brazil. That June, he wrote back excitedly to Florence with news of the voyage, remarking, among other things, that Cabral had “brought back two parrots which are an arm [gomito] and a half long which are more than an arm and a half of ours. They are marvellous things” (Cabral 148). And marvelous they were. As late as 1578 the great naturalist Ulysse Aldrovandi (1522–1605) could respond with wonder and delight when he first saw live macaws at the court of Duke William of Mantua (Stresemann 25).

Ironically, the aristocratic bird collections of Renaissance Europe may have drawn some of their energy from Native American precedent. Bernal Díaz (1492–1584) writes that when Cortés entered Tenochtitlan, he found a royal zoo containing birds that defied enumeration, including “parrots of many different colours, and … so many of them that I forget their names” (212). Cortés himself, in a letter to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, declared of the Aztec zoo that “there is nothing comparable with [it] in Spain” (1:265). In his brutal campaign to subdue the Aztecs and surrounding tribes, Cortés destroyed this collection, regarding it as a key to demoralizing the native peoples.

At the same time, the menageries of European rulers were on the increase.
