spix's macaw

["Esme Barker & Bruce Ramsay" <>]

Elizabeth,
Many thanks for your kind comments. Its nice to get feedback about our 
raffle prizes.
In this case, all thanks are due to Carol Macleay, my predecessor as 
Publications Officer. As one of her last acts before retiring from the job 
in March, Carol acquired that book and a couple of others, to be given as 
future raffle prizes.
Some of the raffle prizes are indeed donated - and any such are very 
welcomed and, where possible, an appropriate attribution is made. Most of 
the prizes though, like the Spix's Macaw book, are purchased by COG.
Kind regards,

Bruce Ramsay
Publications Officer
