Library
Scientific papers, books, avicultural publications and historical materials, each with an original editorial summary, notes on relevance and limitations, and a link to the source. DOIs appear only after an editor has matched them to the item.
The full reference collection lives in Zotero: a growing collection of citation records with links to original sources. The bibliography remains a work in progress, and annotations will be added over time.

Public Zotero library Available now
This growing reference collection has developed over many years through literature searches of contributions, research projects, and shared bibliographic resources, including contributions originating from the Parrot Researchers Group (PRG).
The public library provides citation records and links to original sources; attached files are not shared publicly.
Entries are being reviewed and edited by hand by members of The Parrots’ Project to merge duplicates, repair links, and correct incomplete or inaccurate citation details. Reach out to volunteer to help us add new records and edit existing ones.
The bibliography remains a work in progress. Annotations will be added over time, and suggestions and corrections are welcome.
The Zotero library and this page are kept in step by the editors. There’s no automatic sync between them.
Volunteer
Help add new records to the Zotero library and edit existing ones: merge duplicates, repair links, and correct incomplete or inaccurate citation details. You can also write short summaries, relevance notes and limitations, which editors review before they are published here.
Volunteer to annotateTake a request from the wishlist and find where the item can be read or obtained legitimately: an open-access copy, the publisher, an archive, or a library that holds it.
Volunteer to locate itemsLooking for a paper, bulletin or book you can’t find? Send the citation and we will add it to the wishlist for volunteers to track down.

Sources the project wants to read, annotate, or add to the library: hard-to-find articles, old society bulletins, books and records. If you can help locate one, or have a copy to donate, please get in touch.
We help people find where an item is held or can be requested. We don’t share copies that we don’t have permission to share.
