Yay!
Should we keep them in this format?

We may need to break them up to fit into the book, or at least fit to the format.

Humm, papagaios/araras das Caraíbas...

Tendo em conta que um certo estudo genético recente aparentemente sugere que os papagaios e os falcões estão relacionados, provavelmente faz com que sejam mais interessantes para mim, visto que estou a rever a classificação das aves de rapina

Eu tinha visto que psitacídeos eram relacionados aos columbídeos... o fato dos psitacídeos serem próximos dos falcões deve-se a carúncula em volta das narinas?

Em geral a teoria da relação entre os papagaios e os pombos era proposta devido a algum idiota que sugeriu que um pombo com um bico parecido com o dos psitacideos era "prova" da relação entre os dois grupos. Actualmente, pelo menos a relação entre os papagaios e as aves canoras é aceite, dado o sistema nervoso que é muito semelhante entre os dois grupos, mas espero que a teoria que os Passeriformes, os Psitaciformes, os falcões e as seriemas seja verdadeira.

This is amazing, with all the different types of extinct macaws, though I think the 8th and 9th are probably either subspecies of or introduced Scarlet and Green-Winged Macaws. I love parrots, and it's a shame that so many became extinct.

Wow, this is really fantastic! Would you mind if I print it?
I work at a parrot refuge with about 5000 parrots and I already have posters with all living species... so this is just really nice. I remember I saw the stuffed ara tricolor a few years back, when I was little. Last time when I went back to the museum (Naturalis, Leiden), the room with extinct animals was under construction. If you ever visit the Netherlands, make sure you visit the place.
I love your entire gallery by the way, so you're on my watchlist now.

Thank you!
You may print it, but without changes (mainly keeping my name) and just for your personal use, no comercial.
Yes, I know the Naturalis museum from its website, and looks it have an wonderfull collection, certainly I would visit it if I visit the Netherlands.
Your gallery is also amazing, I must watchback!

also, for all the times you used "became extinct probably [during so-and-so time]," it might sound better as "probably became extinct" but it is still correct either way, I think.

really wonderful artwork! I love macaws and other parrots... I have three at home 
the glaucous macaw looks so much like the hyacinth macaw, it is uncanny
did you draw the maps as well?
are you accepting English grammar/spelling critique, or should I hold off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Thank you! I love them too! I also have three psittacids here, of two species.
Well, it's was verty similar to the hyacinth macaw, but was smaller and have broader yellow patch in the face. I saw grey in it's head in stuffed specimens, but I'm not sure about it colouration when alive, so the image of the species may change in my collection.
Oh, please critique my English! I really must improve it, and any help is welcome.

Trabalho interessante! Você curte mesmo os psitacideos, não é?
Parece mesmo com aquelas ilustrações encontradas em guias de ornito ou livros de bio.
Você tá fazendo facul de bio?

Vlw Renata! Sim, estão entre meus animais favoritos!
Estou fazendo o possível para me aproximar desses guias.
Ainda não, estou no ginásio ainda, mas pretendo.

Hehe! Um dia a gente consegue! Estar em um guia e cursando Biologia!

Sim, tomara!
Vc cursa bio? O salário é bom para um profissional? Ainda tenho muitas dúvidas, se conhecer algum site q eu possa me informar, por favor me mande.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Vixe... tô bem longe de fazer Biologia. Na real, estou cursando Geologia, cujo campo é bem, digamos, mais "rentoso" financeiramente ($$$$
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ich... mas o que eu não entendo é... em que se trabalha sendo biólogo... pq, sinceramente, professor é algo q eu não quero ser... ainda não decidi o que fazer: zoologia, ornitologia ou paleontologia...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pois eh... sendo Biólogo é quase que fato que você tenha que dar aulas... mesmo se especializando em alguma dessas áreas. Se for seguir com isso mesmo, é bom já ter isso em mente. Não querendo desanimar, mas é a dura realidade... em termos, também... não é uma coisa de outro mundo. Se você gosta mesmo da área, você acaba topando qualquer parada.

Ai, ai... isso me deixa num dilema ferrado.... vou ter de pensar muito mesmo, mas acho q vai ser biologia sem jeito...

wow this is too cool! I was thinking of doing something similar on rare and nearly extinct birds! where did you find all this information? and awesome drawings too!

Thank you! If you need some help, please tell me! I found the informations there in many references, but a good one is the Extinction Website, [link] that's almost the key for all my references.
