Let us think in future before buying a parrot or a lorikeet, or a parakeet with wonderful colours, all that this bird will represent constrained, even if it gives much pleasure to its owner. It needs much care to live in good conditions, and even if the fact of being in your home represents for it an effective protection against all kinds of predators, it will never feel as fine as in its native habitat. All species are not endangered, fortunately, and to see them flying from tree to tree in coloured and noisy flocks in suitable areas is also an attractive show, because nothing is as wonderful as freedom!
The Loro Parque Foundation works in this way, by constituting "reserves" in order to reintroduce these wonderful birds into wild after having given them the chance to be born within good conditions. Let us wish them a good come back in their wet and shadowy forests, where their life is, and where our duty is to protect them.
