The Last Parrots refers to thick-billed parrots that once flourished in Arizona. Sacred among the ancient peoples of the Southwest, the birds disappeared in the 1900s and now exist only in the Sierra Madre of Mexico, where they continue to be threatened by climate change. Sadly, the northern side of the border is no longer a welcoming environment for the parrots, or for many others who enriched the region for centuries.
