Why I Have Removed the Brooklyn Parrots Map From This Site

With sadness and regrets, I have disabled the interactive map which formerly showed the locations of the wild parrots living throughout the New York City area. I had provided this service for researchers and the general public, and I know it was one of this site's most popular features.

I have removed the map because of information that has recently surfaced in the ongoing investigation into multiple incidents of wild parrot poaching in the borough of Brooklyn. While it does not appear that the poachers have relied on my map to accomplish their evil deeds, any information which might be of use to these miscreants must be withheld.

I will continue to track the population of wild parrots in NYC and you are encouraged to send me any news you find. I will continue to maintain the interactive wild parrot map but will keep it offline, where the parrot poachers will never find it. If you are a researcher, journalist, or other bona fide student of the wild parrots, please contact me and I will share information with you privately. I will also continue to share information about the wild flocks of parrots which grace our borough with the general public via this site, but only such information which cannot be used against the parrots in whose cause I serve.

Sincerely,
Steve Baldwin
The Brooklyn Parrot Society
