There are a lot of really good causes out there such as the AFA and World Parrot Trust. I don't know that I would go down the zoo route. There are also a lot of endangered parrots that are a lot worse off than the Hys. One that I dearly love that isn't even protected here in the states is the Philippean Red Vent Cockatoo. Darn near extinct in the wild. To make sure that breeding programs are fruitful would be amazing or to try to reintroduce them into the wild would be another wonderful feat.
I think that what you are trying to do is very admirable but I also want to caution you on where you put your money. There are a lot of rescues out there who are not what they seem to be. I agree that The Gabriel Foundation and probably Mickaboo are one of the few that I would really feel comfortable giving money to. Whoever you decide to give to, make sure you know where your money is going and keep a close eye on it.
