This is somewhat off point but I found it interesting. I was watching a nature show yesterday about green parrots in Puerto Rico, which used to be thick with them but where they are now endangered. The show was about efforts to reestablish them. There was one sad anecdote about how the parrots came to leave one particular area. They were filming a movie about Cuba in PR, didn't catch the name, which required shots of jets zooming just at the top of the canopy. Apparently that so scared the birds at a delicate time of the year that they all disappeared. The biologist said there were 35 now back in the wild and he looked so sad that their loss was caused by the need for three seconds of film.
