Illegal pet trade--trafficking--of parrots is cruel, common and increasing. The death rate is greater than 90% over the first 2 years, and a very bad death at that: disease, injuries, depression, pain, PTSD, languishing in fear, loneliness and grief for family and friends. They are considered "things" "accessories" "show-and-tell" "expendable" "cost-of-doing-business" and "we can just get another one". BUT they are individual beings with faces and a soul. Proceeds go to a dedicated care facility for birds confiscated from illegal trade. Where they are safe, secure and loved for as long as it takes.
