This responsibility surely includes caring for the parrots that become unsuccessful' pets and are condemned to miserable, unfulfilled lives. We invite further input from all sources of expertise and opinion. Any group engaged in this task should ensure it has sufficient funding, wide experience of working with parrots, suitable accommodation, expert veterinary support, and sound methods of assessing foster homes. The motivation must be nothing other than the rescue, rehabilitation and longterrn welfare of the birds. The profit motive has no place in parrot rescue.
Stability is vital.
This means a total commitment on the part of the people involved, plus reasonable financial status. A business plan is recommended. Some expertise in public relations is important, to maximise publicity about parrots in difficulty, the rescue service available, and the need for funds and other forms of support. It is also important to work effectively with local parrot people, clubs, and authorities. The quality and range of facilities must be adequate.
