Dear parrot researchers and parrot friends,


You are cordially invited to join "World Parrot Count 2012". We, Roelant Jonker and Michael Braun of the "extra-tropical department" of the Parrot Researchers Group of the International Ornithological Union (IOU), invite you to take part in this global parrot census this January and February in order to get much needed scientific data about parrots living in cities around the globe. This count is the 2nd edition. For further information please visit the following website:
http://cityparrots.org/world-parrot-count/


If you have any questions please contact us via the following E-mail-address:
parrotcount@cityparrots.org


Please feel free to forward this message to everybody who could be interested. We would like to create a global parrot community of professional researchers, field ornithologists as well as amateur naturalists that will enable us to measure the development of native and non-native parrots living in cities.

See you at the roost!


All best,

Roelant Jonker (Leiden University, The Netherlands)
Michael Braun (Heidelberg University, Germany)

How is this in plane DUTCH

Jou Engels is zo slecht nog niet Paul! Dit zou je best kunnen vertalen.
Vind wel dat dit wat eerder bekend gemaakt had kunnen worden. Veel preparatie tijd is er nu toch niet. En hoe serieus moet je deze mensen nemen als ze 5 minuten voor de telling dit bekend maken.
PS. Ik en vele anderen zijn zich nu al aan het voorbereiden voor de Gould amadine telling in Wyndham Western Australie in September van dit jaar.
