International Parrot Crisis Awareness Day on March 10 shines a light on the critical challenges confronting wild and captive parrots. While these birds are often seen as pets or commodities, they are highly sentient beings that thrive in natural environments. With nearly 30% of parrot species endangered, and alarming rates of mortality in poaching and captivity, active efforts are essential to combat the wildlife trade and educate potential pet guardians about the realities of parrot care. This includes recognizing their complex needs and the consequences of breeding practices that can lead to psychological issues.
As parrot populations are increasingly threatened, it is critical to address issues related to their captivity and the damaging impacts of the pet trade.
The plight of parrots, both in the wild and as pets, showcases the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of their complex social and emotional needs.
