Today the Puerto Rican parrot is recovering slowly with two captive breading programs which started in 1968, one in the Caribbean National Forest that started in 1973 (USFW) and one in the Rio Abajo State Forest that began in 1993 (DRNA).<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">In the pictures, one individual from the 15 free roaming Puerto Rican parrots in the Rio Abajo state Forest Aviary.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Modern man no longer regards nature as being in any sense divine and feels perfectly free to behave towards her as an overwhelming conqueror and tyrant" Aldous Huxley</span></span></span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8321872432029630837-1434725186367382700?l=meljrivera.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mel J.
