EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving depicts the Australian Ringneck Parrot, Barnardius zonarius, also known as the Barnard's Parrot or Bauer's Parrot (Psittacus baueri). The image is taken from Edward Griffiths' publication, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1829. The Australian Ringneck Parrot is native to Australia and is identified by its distinctive yellow and green plumage, with a narrow black ring encircling its neck. The parrot's beak is grey in colour, and its eyes are dark brown. The Australian Ringneck Parrot is a popular species among bird enthusiasts due to its vibrant colours and intelligence. They are social birds that live in flocks, often found in eucalyptus forests and woodlands. They feed on a variety of seeds, fruits, and flowers, and are known to mimic human speech. This engraving is a testament to the natural history and ornithology of the 19th century, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time. The Linnean Society Museum, where the specimen was likely sourced from, is a renowned institution dedicated to the study of natural history and taxonomy. The publication of "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier marked a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of the natural world during this period. Today, the Australian Ringneck Parrot is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts essential to ensure their survival. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its wonders for future generations.
