As you may remember, the wonderful folk at Postal Depot 4, Langford, operate a concession on behalf of our parrot entrepeneurs, Ben and Andy. On Wednesdays, they also sell cookies at Depot 4 and Postal Depot 1, Victoria. We owe a big thank you to them, and a special thank you to the great people at Thrifty Foods, Broadmead, who provide double cookies for a reduced price, and have done so for the past year! A heartfelt thank you goes out to the caring people at Thrifty Foods, Broadmead!

"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.
