Did you know?
Worldwide the interest in birdwatching is growing. In the United States alone an estimated 70.4 million people go outdoors to watch birds one or more times per year. The number of people who travel internationally to view wild birds is also growing.
It has been estimated that wild parrots could become the "environmental heavyweights" when it comes to saving large tracts of tropical forests through wildlife viewing ecotourism.
Did you know? Almost a third of the world's 330 parrot species are threatened with extinction due to pressures from collecting for the pet trade, combined with habitat loss.
Replacing the demand for birds as "pets" with a demand for keeping wildlife in the wild protects habitat and eliminates the inherent welfare problems associated with keeping wild animals in captivity.
