Imports

What do you guys mean by no imports?

Tens of thousands of parrots are being smuggled or imported each year. Many of which die! They are smuggled/imported in such inhumane ways. They are plucked from the wild and put in tiny lil boxes to be shipped somewhere. And thats not the worst of it. Most are endangered.

Sorry I was wrong, thats some 2 million birds each year prior to 2005 smuggled each year! Who knows how many now.

Here is a good website, good articals.. read EU Permanently Bans Imports of Wild Birds.

People reckon parrot smuggling is second to illegal drug smuggling. You never know where your parrots been or come from. This is why buying from a good breeder is best.
