We've gathered and continue to gather wonderful Companion Parrot Advocates from around the world to write their stories and experiences. These are Advocates who are making a difference by working tirelessly in Advocacy itself, Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary and Avian Veterinarian Care. These stories, and real life experiences are here for you to read, share, learn and apply not only to your own flock, but to your own efforts inside your own companion parrot advocacy.
I hope you'll find ideas and inspiration while reading through these Advocate Articles. Remember, your thoughts and comments are important, they are integral to the success of our prime directive here; To give every parrot, every where, a happy home.

The one component that challenges every parrot parent, and every parrot rescue and sanctuary is people. Parrots are not complicated, but the humans around the work, passion and career of rescue can be difficult. Consider these two very important items while you entertain the idea of rescue.

Dreams no matter the beauty have one ugly requirement. Details. And details inevitability lead to a governmental agency. Not for the faint of heart, nor for those not ready to think around corners, agency rules were created on a whim it seems. David shares his moment of inspiration and his moment of reality both at the door of a government agency.
