Nothing like waking up to six emails of fan art =] Maeve of the CockatielForger fan account sent, well, a lot of fan art! I'll get to work adding it to the fan art page, but until then... have Veron! "Have you heard of the Night Parrot?" - Blinky "No." - Black Mask

The night parrot was originally thought to be related to the kakapo, due to the similar colour and style of plumage. Genetic tests, however, have shown that it is much closer related to the ground parrot (lower image).
