Endangered Parrots of the World Chess Set: Many of the colorful species of parrots on our planet are endangered or threatened with extinction. Our Endangered Parrots of the World Chess set has been created from FSC certified North American woods, walnut and maple; with 24k gold and silver plated pewter playing pieces and recycled glass ball feet. It is finished with a beautifully rendered gold plated orchid border, the Laelia Xanthina Orchid, an endangered orchid, which blooms in November and December. Each playing piece fits carefully inside the box for storing or transporting.
