Born from a Search.
Built into California's Parrot Authority.
It started with two lost birds. Salvatore Angius searched Long Beach for his escaped parrots — and never found them. But he discovered something extraordinary instead: 13 species of wild parrots living freely across California's cities, unnoticed by most.
Over a decade later, that search has become California's most comprehensive wild parrot documentation project — 35+ cities, 9 expert contributors, and 6 major press features. This is where their story lives.
Our target is generating appreciation through awareness for California's free-flying parrots. As these parrots are part of California's beauty, this makes them ours to appreciate — free and naturally.
