The Paradise Parrot was a colorful medium-sized parrot native to the Queensland - New South Wales border area of northeastern Australia. Several factors contributed to the extinction of Paradise Parrot, the prominent factors being loss of habitat due to over grazing and land clearing, extensive hunting by bird collectors and predation by several cat species. By the end of 19th century, the sighting of this bird had relatively become rare, and by 1915 it had virtually become extinct. A few more sightings took place over the next decade before the Paradise Parrot finally became extinct. The last confirmed sighting took place in 1927.

The "fourth was with us" on this beautiful Colorado spring day. We visited and found 30 caches, this was one of them. Thanks to all the owners for placing and maintaining these for us to enjoy. It was lovely here today... rolling green grasslands, lots of barns and windmills, and many horses, goats, sheep, even llamas were seen. TFTC SL

Snow day, so catching up on logs.

Found this fun little series with animjason while we were in the area. I love impromptu caching adventures.

BearAdair and I weren't doing anything today. We were driving around Parker doing errands when the caching itch hit.

We ended up in this area finding extinct animals, and defeating an alien invasion.

Thanks for the fun. Ended up with 13 finds before it started getting dark.

I got 38 caches today; enough to earn the final Hidden Creatures World Turtle souvenir, yay! Thanks for putting out this series, which helped my hunt. JC had a good time with me today; she's snoozing beside me as I log today's caches. TFTC.
