๐ฆ March 10 is #ParrotCrisisAwarenessDay Evolving over millions of years to thrive in the wild, nothing about captivity is natural for them. Yet hundreds of thousands are still bred each year in the U.S. for the pet trade.

I'm going to be a speaker for the Parrot Crisis Online Summit this Friday.

It might get a little heavy depending on the speaker.
I'm the derp in the mix b/c it takes all kinds.

Thank you, Susanne! The #parrotcrisis deserves a spotlight.
Today is International #ParrotCrisis Awareness Day. #AdoptDontShop
When thereโs so many problems going on for people, the animals sadly always come last ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐
Parrots are in crisis. 29% of parrot species are endangered or threatened, largely due to the global parrot trade. Millions of captive parrots languish in human homes ill-equipped to provide for the needs of wild animals. Sanctuaries around the world are beyond capacityโtoo many unwanted parrots have nowhere to go, because humans failed them. To end the Parrot Crisis, we must stop selling, buying, and breeding them. No cage is big enough. www.allianceforparrots.org
Today is #ParrotCrisis Awareness Day. Shelters are overwhelmed. Parrots are wild animals who thrive in flocks, not cages. Practices such as hand-rearing and wing-clipping contribute to their suffering. www.allianceforparrots.org/parrot-crisis

#ParrotCrisis
Human breeding animals to use as entertainment and not looking after these social, intelligent sentient beings! Stop caging parrots and other birds! Leave them in nature to FLY FREE! many parrots canโt even fly, lose their lovely feathers from depression! #RespectNature
Stop buying!

This is fewer than half the birds stuffed in a stinking, filthy 20x40 cage with seed hulls and powder in the food bowl.
They do not deserve the #ParrotCrisis.
Ripped from a nest, crammed in a box with hundreds of other chicks, trunk of stinking hot car, months in transit, little food, nasty water, wing trims nearly to the bone, tail shredded to a nub, and months/years later this bird clings to life. No creature should be tortured like this.

Literally 5 minutes after cleaning and adding food and water...you can see the expect something else horrible to happen...most likely wild-caught (poached and smuggled), ready for a flea market...

PS pellets/fresh veg-fruits now** this was day 1

This is the #ParrotCrisis.
The best way to help parrots is to #AdoptDontShop and support your local sanctuary. If you love parrots, donโt buy, breed, or sell them. We must stop thinking of these wild animals as โpetsโ.

A illustration of silly cockatoo looking bamboozled. Reads, "Cockatoos are awesome. For the love of them and your sanity, don't buy one."
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน Counting down to 3/10 #ParrotCrisis Awareness Day. I'm gonna mix in some not-so-fun bird info into the usual posts. I know there's a lot going on in the world, but pls take a moment to consider them. They suffer just as we do, and I just wish we could come together to help alleviate it. ๐ #birds
March 10th is Parrot Crisis Awareness Day. Parrots suffer from self-harm, just like humans, w/similar triggers. (These photos are tame in comparison to what Iโve seen).
In the wild, unless a #bird is sick, you will not find them in this state.

Parrots are smart, social creatures w/complex needs.
๐ Thinking about bringing a parrot into your life? Take time to research, consider adoption, and choose to support responsible, ethical sources (i.e. not Petco, Petsmart, etc.)
