Bird Rescue

Avian Rescue

Avian rescue is, sad to say, a big topic these days. Parrots are complex and long living creatures. In some cases they simply outlive their original owners and need new homes. In other cases, they end up with people who do not understand the intricacies of dealing with parrots, and then often become problem birds, even more desperately needing new homes.

The whole business of rescuing birds is both wonderful and sad. It is wonderful that unwanted, perhaps mistreated and abused birds can find a new home. It is sad that the whole problem arises in the first place. Some people have even gone so far as to suggest that people stop breeding birds until homes can be found for all the birds in need.
