Best time for birding

[Carol Probets <>]

Glenys,

You will find that there is no single best time for all parrots. In 
the wild, time of breeding will vary with the species, the location 
and sometimes from year to year, particularly in the inland where 
conditions are so variable. The best time of year will depend on 
which species you're interested in photographing and whether there is 
any migration involved. Generally there will be something worthwhile 
to see at any time of year.
Interesting how avicultural jargon is quite different to birding 
jargon. I've never heard birders talking of birds "going down" with 
regards to breeding.
Cheers,

Carol
