Tap A Region
The map uses broad native ranges, not tiny country pins, so it stays readable and honest on mobile.
How To Read This Map
Broad Regions On Purpose
Parrot groups often span multiple countries, islands, and habitat bands, so the map clusters them into understandable native zones instead of pretending one tiny pin can explain a whole lineage.
Native Range, Not Pet Popularity
The site is mapping where these birds come from in the wild, not where they are now sold, rescued, bred, or commonly seen online.
Live Pages Link Out
When a species or group already has a page on the site, the detail panel links directly into it. The rest can act as a roadmap for future expansion.
What This Map Leaves To The Deeper Layer
New Zealand Is Special
The research supports treating New Zealand as more than a side island. It holds the most basal surviving parrot branch, the Strigopoidea.
Origins Are Not Just Modern Range
Gondwana, Zealandia, Antarctic corridors, and Laurasian stem fossils belong to a deeper map layer than this modern native-range view can show by itself.
Wallacea Shapes The Story
The island arc between Asia and Australia is not just a background region. It acts like a filter and boundary in the parrot dispersal story.
Good Next Clicks
Open The Evolution Map
Use the new deep-time layer for Gondwana origins, Zealandia, Antarctica corridors, Wallacea, and the three major superfamilies.
Open The Parrot Library
Use the map as orientation, then jump into the species pages for fuller care and fit framing.
Budgies And Parakeets Hub
The strongest Australia lane on the site right now goes deeper on budgies, naming, and wild roots.
Care Foundations
Region explains where parrots come from. Care pages explain how that should change the lives we build for them.
