This is an important video that all prospective pet parrot owners should watch – courtesy of the American network, CBS News. (Note: They mention that some people release their birds – please do NOT do this. It is a virtual death sentence to parrots in North America where they have no flock, natural food, or survival skills!)
The video mentions that some people are just “releasing” their parrots – PLEASE never do this!
A parrot in North America has virtually no chance of surviving. With no flock, no knowledge of what (if anything) it can eat, no knowledge of predators, little ability to withstand cold weather, “RELEASING” a parrot is just a slow death sentence.
The video looks very interesting but comes out in stutters and is not understandable on my set. Oddly enough, i am just reading the book by Tweti! So glad that there is an info. video going around. D.
Hey Dorothy,
Perhaps you can set your computer buffer to pre-load more of the video before playing? One way to help this is to hit “PAUSE” as soon as it starts loading and give it a few minutes to get a head start before you view it.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for this link. If only people were required to watch something like this, or become at least a little educated before buying that pretty birdie in the window
