BrokenWing Chronicles Parrot Fossil 55 Million Years Old Parrots today live only in the tropics and southern hemisphere, but this new research suggests that they first evolved in the North, much earlier than had been thought. The fossil parrot was discovered on the Isle of Mors in the northwest of Denmark – far from where you’d normally expect to find a parrot. It’s a new species, officially named 'Mopsitta tanta'. However, already its nick-name is the ‘Danish Blue Parrot’, a term derived from a famous comedy sketch about a 'Norwegian Blue Parrot' in the 1970s BBC television programme ‘Monty Python’. The full story here. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080516123153.htm

When all is done that is asked from me and I can fly no higher, I pray this day his hand extends to welcome home a flier.

Strange that the oldest survving parrot fossel comes from Europe, the one continent that has no indigenous parrots. Just another element of proof for the theory that all landmasses on earth were once part of the super-continenet of Pangea.
