We are thrilled to announce that a short documentary by Danny Mauro and Hayley Crooks called "A Home For Life" has been selected to screen at the Kingston Film Festival before the feature length films "Reel Injun" and "A Shine of Rainbows".

This short documentary features Wendy and the World Parrot Refuge!  Cogeco’s Danny Mauro (Sport Diver TV, Blue Realm, National Geographic) and local filmmaker Hayley Crooks (Only For You official selection of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival 2009) created the short documentary about the "fascinating world of neglected and abused exotic birds and the people that rescue and care for them".

You can see Danny filming his proposal to the Discovery HD channel for "A Home For Life" here:

The feature length films will both be playing March 6th at 12:25pm and 7:10pm respectively. If you are in Kingston, Ontario and able to attend the screenings, we'd love to hear about it!

"The World Parrot Refuge is a true sanctuary where parrots live out their lives in a loving, spacious and happy environment under the guidance of extraordinarily caring people. The many visitors destined to pass through the refuge will come to understand that parrots are not toys or trophies, but beings with needs and emotions as real as our own."

– Rosemary Low (author of more than 30 books on parrots)

"This is, in a word, a great place and these miraculous creatures deserve no less, but few places can deliver it this well. It is, indeed, 'world class'."

– Stewart Metz (author and Director of the Indonesian Parrot Project), after his visit at the Grand Opening of the Refuge on August 13, 2005.
