Tonight mom and me went to a report of the Bahamian parrot. Did you know there are only two groups of parrots left in the Bahamas? One is in the Abacos (where we are) and the other in Inagua. They both look very similar but I also learned they are very different. One thing is the Abacos parrots nest in the ground. The parrots are lucky to nest under ground because it keeps them safe from fire, hurricanes and floods. But there are problems where they nest. The first problem is predators like cats and raccoons. The second problem is people that want to build houses on their nest. The researchers are helping. They build fences to stop predators. Also, the researchers talk to the government to help them understand about the parrots. I asked a question to the researchers at the end. It was a good talk. The End.
