China Travel Qestion and Answershttp://www.chinatravel.com/rssRSS-BoardDo Chinese derbyan parakeet still live on mountain?Fri 3 Jul 2009 12:59:00 GMTbiyasamahttp://www.chinatravel.com/do-chinese-derbyan-parakeet-still-live-on-mountain%3f/question2226.htmbiyasamaHello, I am student of Chinese history and medieval aviculturist. That means I study history of parrot from Tang through Ming dynasty. In my research I found out that in Tang dynasty, Chinese native parakeet, what in English we call the Derbyan, a Psittacula parakeet, was taken as tribute to the emperor in Chang An in large numbers from their tree hollows on Long mountain. I understand that Liupan mountain is the same mountain and certainly in the Derbyan's Tang dynasty range. Please tell me if these parrots are still living in the forest and if so, to what numbers. I am doing research on the human impact on China's parakeets and see if humans forced them from their native range. These parakeets are tropical birds and very green, but mostly they live now in Tibet where it is not so rainy and green. I am trying to find out why. We know that in Tang dynasty, China was very different. The climate has shifted. Central china is much drier than it once was. China used to have a lot of rainforest. Shan3xi, Gansu, and most of central china used to be much more rainy than today. Rainy enough for lots of bright green parrots to thrive. if you can answer my question about the parrots today, it might help China's parakeets. Protecting china's wildlife is important. I hope you can answer my question so my research can advance.
