The Truth about Parrots

It's a mathematical powder keg: skyrocketing number of parrots in the United
States, plus their long lifespan, plus the public's lack of knowledge about how to keep these birds happy and well adjusted. It all adds up to a looming crisis for the animal rescue community. Best Friends Animal Society shares the facts about parrot ownership.

Best Friends Animal Society is the only national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. A leader in the no-kill movement, Best Friends partners with thousands of animal welfare groups across the country on innovative lifesaving programs. In addition to Lifesaving Centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and soon, Houston, Best Friends runs the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals in Kanab, Utah. Working together with you, we will end the killing and Save Them All®! For more information, visit bestfriends.org.
