Originally planned for Costa Rica, the World Parrot Refuge will now have its start in  Vancouver. There will be educational exhibits and videos to help the public understand why so many parrots rarely succeed for their entire lives in one home, and what an exponential problem this has become.  There will be 23,000 square feet of indoor, heated, free-flight aviaries, 16,000 square feet of which will be easily accessed outdoor flights for the warmer months.  The flights will be filled with natural branches and tree stumps ~ great for feet, for hiding, and especially for chewing.   For more information, click here.
