Broad-Billed Parrot

Flying
The first known descriptions of the broad-billed parrot were provided by Dutch sailors during the Second Dutch Expedition to Indonesia, led by Admiral Jacob Cornelis van Neck in 1598. They appear in reports published in 1601, which also contain the first illustration of the bird, along with the first of a dodo. The Dutch categorised the broad-billed parrots separately from parrots, and referred to them as "Indische raven"("Indian ravens" )
