However, when it turned out that the Keets are waterfowl (did I get that right?), the interest somewhat shifted towards the obscure mention of Parrot People on one of the East Isles. So, mostly I am curious to know whether anything is known about them, other than their general location and them being driven to near extinction.

The Parrot People are not near extinction IMG. They just
happen to live on the island Forng, which is very remote
and away from ordinary trade routes.
They are a proud people, known as great warriors and gardeners.
The warriors practice fearsome martial arts, using their hard
beaks to deadly effect.
They worship Karkal, the god fire and strength and his spouse
in the form of a divine couple of fiery parrots.
It is correct that the keets are water birds, of many varieties,
some duck-like, other like seagulls, albatrosses, flamingos etc.
