Dear all, Formerly widespread over much of Africa, the Grey Parrot is now threatened throughout much its natural range and is disappearing from many countries. Wild populations are in trouble due to habitat destruction, poaching, capture for the domestic and international pet trade, and land use resource conflicts. These charismatic and popular birds need our help. Please visit the World Parrot Trust's Save the Greys Fund page to learn more about how you can help: http://www.parrots.org/index.php/ourwork/home/african_grey_parrot'>http://www.parrots.org/index.php/ourwork/home/african_grey_parrot Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
