    Thanks very much - I had hoped to do that but the selection kept including adverts and extra information on the side; I thought you might have a quicker solution.

    ah, yeah sometimes you need to cut-and-paste articles in sections rather than all in one go, when there are breaks for photos or ads. Or cut-and-paste the entire thing but do some editing to remove the extraneous bits before hitting post.

    Thats realy bad news. Hopefully a small population ( or at least one or a few females ) will be found on an unknown location ( maybe even in captivity * ) and the species can in this way be safed.
    * That this possibility is not completely unrealistic was proven by a Spix macaw, living for more then 20 years in an US-household without recosnized as being one by its owners.
