Several years of research and journeys led me to my first Parrot Watching Trip by my company ‘Wild Parrots Up Close’ in 2004 to the Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil in a quest to find the Red-capped Parrot in the wild amongst all the other Parrots, Birds and Wildlife of the area. Although we saw many Parrots the Red-capped Parrot eluded me on this first trip however I was not to be beaten and the following year had an amazing encounter with these special Parrots that will remain with me for life.

Over the years through my research and contacts I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge as to where and when to see particular Parrots in the wild. I use a number of local guides, drivers and boatmen to achieve the best sightings and experiences possible for everyone on my trips. This also helps local economies.
