The Exploratorium, a museum of science, art, and human perception, will relocate to San Francisco's Pier 15 in 2013. The Observatory gallery at the new Exploratorium will be an optically transparent, second-story space with both indoor and outdoor areas, strategically sited for explorations of urban San Francisco and the Bay.

The Observatory team invites your contributions to two of our groups:

Dear parrot researchers and parrot friends,

You are cordially invited to join the "World Parrot Count". We, Roelant Jonker and Michael Braun of the "extra-tropical department" of the Parrot Researchers Group of the International Ornithological Union (IOU), would like to initiate the first global parrot census this January in order to get much needed scientific data about parrots living in cities around the globe. This count is intended to become an annual event. For further information please visit the following website:
www.cml.leiden.edu/parrot.html

If you have any questions please contact us via the following E-mail-address:
parrotcount@cityparrots.org

Please feel free to forward this message to everybody who could be interested. We would like to create a global parrot community of professional researchers, field ornithologists as well as amateur naturalist that will enable us to measure the development of native and non-native parrots living in cities.

See you at the roost!

All best,

Roelant Jonker (Leiden University, The Netherlands)
Michael Braun (Heidelberg University, Germany)

Cool Club!

The last couple of weeks I've seen these gorgeous birds when I run in the early morning. I didn't really know anything about them before.

They seem very tame... and when I stopped to enjoy their little gathering, they just stared back at me.

I kept my distance. I think it may be a bad idea to try to domesticate them more than they already are... as I'm sure some people have tried to capture them... which I think is also very uncool.

I'll try to remember to bring my camera, and hopefully get a few picks of these wild little folks.

They show up about an hour & half before sundown, so the actual time may vary. You can see them in other parts of the City, but this is the most well known spot.

Has anyone read Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill? That's the book that got me interested in this flock.
