Very possible. Since one and a half acres of the Amazon Rainforest are getting chopped down for paper and lumber per second, we might as well believe that loss of habitat is the main reason why parrots are going extinct. But that's not actually the main reason why parrots are. They actually are getting extinct mainly because of poachers in S. America and Mexico that smuggle these birds into the U.S. One of every four birds that gets shipped to America and other countries die. And millions are sold, so you might imagine that so many parrots die.

elephants are close to getting extinct however they are not extinct. They are getting closer to extinction as there habitats are being destroyed as well as there food sources. Global warming is causing droughts in many countries and places so some elphants cannot find food/water. elephants are close to getting extinct however they are not extinct.
