Parrots through Biologists’ Eyes: Intelligence to Conservation
Wednesday 28 February 2007
from 6.45 pm
Why do parrots mimic man and other creatures? Are they really as clever as their behaviour suggests? And does their very popularity make them vulnerable? This evening, a collaboration with the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Ornithology and the University of Sheffield’s Parrot Group, is devoted to an examination of the parrot from a scientific point of view.
