The beauty, songs, and flight of birds have long been sources of human inspiration.

Today, nearly 12 percent of the world's 9,800 bird species may face extinction within the next century, including nearly one-third of the world's 330 parrot species.

Birds are sentinel species whose plight serves as barometer of ecosystem health and alert system for detecting global environmental ills.
