Good to set the board straight that you're worldwide, @Thunderfinger.
Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill Trailer, Mark Bittner, 2004.
Very nice walk-through of the subject.
I've been trying to get my talons on this particular edition since 2014 - and now, after a long journey (flying south), the book finds its way into my nest:
Expect you already had the 2002 Collins edition.
Want to use this opportunity to recognize @TheRealJimWright's book The Real James Bond, published earlier this year. Repeating my comments on it below.

What do you have in mind? We'll see if it floats.

Colours suggest a red-billed streamertail hummingbird aka Doctor Bird, minus the long tails.
Oooooh nice, @Branch. Yeah I'd go with Red-billed streamertail as you said, fixture of Jamaica.
At the same time, that looks like yard art. I'd buy one.
Lesson learned: Bond films need endemic bird life cooked in, every mission.
Or use it to establish each new locale, that would be right on time.
Very nice site, here.

I know this as they come up from time to time on my daily bird calendar, and I pass the page on to a co-worker named Lori who happens to have purple hair.
Such pretty little things!
With a little bit of luck another example will fly in sight. Remember they're that only valuable to Bond-fans.
Perhaps, but they can't be around in too great a numbers, now can they? I don't think the good James Bond was that important an ornithologist. And the combination of beeing an ornithologist and Bond-fan will make the species even rarer...
Well there is Global James Bond Day 5 October, marking the original Dr No premiere 1962.
I recently got a letter from Wildwood Trust, a conservation centre and charity based in Kent, appealing for help restoring the chough to the county:
Definitely Bond-relevant, since he was raised not far from Canterbury :)
