That is sad. I admire the lady for running a rescue operation. I've been around some larger birds that were neglected and/or abused and it takes a lot of patience and one on one work to deal with these creatures. They are lovely animals, but it is difficult to deal with those who have behavior problems unless you are used to it. I have a cockatiel who acts out and plucks at herself a lot. I've had her since she was fairly young so I don't believe she was abused or neglected, she just has an unusual temperament. I know she can try my patience at times. Working with over a 100 birds with similar dispositions - that lady deserves accolades. The new owners of these birds unfortunately will not provide them with the love and attention that they need, I hope that these birds are found soon and returned to the aviary. Unlikely, but I'll hope anyway.

Yes, it takes a different type of person to own and love a parrot, that much is for sure. It takes a very special person to take a hundred or more under your wing.
