Our bird club helps support this organization with donations from our annual bird fair, thanks Dave for sharing that vid with us.

I don't know where I have been, I have done scores of internet searches and read as much as I could find about parrots in our home, but somehow this organization had escaped my notice. Thanks Dave. At the end of the video they had a link but I wasn't quick enough to click it so I scrolled it back http://www.parrots.org/ Now I am reading the many articles and very interested in the conservation efforts. To see some of the captured greys released back to the wild was awe inspiring and profound. The first article I read about Biscuit was very well done. I love this quote that Biscuit's gratitude was about as not existent as a "disturbed scorpion". I believe that any of us with an older "rescue" parrot can relate to that at some point! LOL Thanks again.

Dave--Thank you for posting this video. I now have a new organization to make a contribution to. Sometimes I question our desire to have parrots as "pets". Maybe we should have left them well enough alone to live their lives in the wild. Having said that, I now share a home with a sweet grey and my only goal is to make her life the best possible. My heart just broke as I saw those wild caught birds shoved into crates for export.
