As a kid, growing up in Denver, I, too, remember going to the Blue Parrot on Sundays (during the 1950s) and seeing the parrot in the cage just off the sidewalk. They had great cinnamon rolls and as a kid that is what I filled up on.

As a child, one of my fondest memories.....getting a chocolate parrot for having a clean plate following my meal. Of course, my wonderful, loving father would make certain I would always have a clean plate!
After teetering on the edge of extinction, the beautiful Spix's macaw has made its return to the wild, over two decades after the last bird was seen in nature. Eight of the bright blue parrots have been released into a protected nature reserve in Brazil.
The birds now live in an area of Brazil known as the Caatinga, which is a subtropical dry forest. The area was cleared for ranching and farming over the last century, and the blue parrot became scarce. As it did, collectors of exotic birds started having the Spix's macaw caught for their use as pets.
While the lovely blue parrots return to the wild, other species around the world are struggling. The Monarch butterfly has been added to the international list of threatened species, and that news has left people such as biologist Tori Herridge to wonder what species should receive the funding to be saved.
