[Franciscus]

I'm of the opinion that most individual animals do not derive benefit from their being domesticated or living in peoples' homes. We have a lot to learn and as loving parrot people we have an abligation to ALL parrots, in the wild and in captivity. We need to support habitat conservation and teach novice parrot keepers. We also have an obligation to the parrots in our lives to give them the best lives possible, such as large enclosures, plenty of interaction, opportunity for excercise, a healthy diet, good vet care, and interesting toys.
