Norwegian Blue Parrots are for Real



Apparently Norwegian Blue Parrots really did exist. A few years back, of course. Extinct now. Check it out.

Dr David Waterhouse, a fossil expert and Python fan, has found that parrots not only lived in Scandinavia 55 million years ago, but probably evolved there before spreading into the southern hemisphere.

His discovery was based on a preserved wing bone of a previously unknown species, given the scientific name Mopsitta Tanta - and now nicknamed the Norwegian Blue.
