In my free time I like to walk in the woods and watch the beautiful birds of Australia. And recently I read the story of the Paradise Parrot in A.H Chrisholm’s “Mateship with Birds”

In 1928 one of the most beautiful parrots of Australia became extinct. Nobody understood how this could happen, but all of a sudden they were no longer there. Up to the present day people are desperately searching for the long lost Paradise Parrot.

This print pictures the hope that a lot of bird watchers still have. Maybe the Paradise Parrot is still alive somewhere in the vast desert.
