Amazona kawalli is a valid name for a valid species

This article was produced by Nigel Collar and myself and published in 1996. I had come across the species at the home of Nelson Kawall, who kept parrots at his home in Sao Paulo in the early 1990s and who the specimen was named after.  I then came across a specimen in the Natural History Museum in Berlin and used my position as Deputy Director General of the German-British Chamber of Commerce in London to have the specimen sent to Nigel Collar’s office in Cambridge at Birdlife International for us to research and validate the name.
