We’ve been so fortunate to have the Refuge featured prominently in the media recently. Our founder, Wendy Huntbatch, appeared on television on CTV Canada AM this morning to discuss the problems associated with keeping intelligent, long-lived parrots as pets, and the work we do at the Refuge to care for these birds who, through no fault of their own, can no longer live with their human flock and have nowhere else to go. The CTV Canada AM feature, with a link to a video of the interview, may be found here.
Last week, the Refuge also featured in a wonderful article in the Life section of the Globe and Mail newspaper. You may read Cinda Chavich’s article online here.
These features have been terrific for raising the profile of the plight of our parrots, but there is still so much to be done to secure the future. Please visit the help us page to see if there’s anything you can do to help the beautiful birds of the World Parrot Refuge. Together, we are making a difference.
