What is Conservation?

Conservation involves protecting remaining habitats as well as the birds themselves.

What we can do?
Do not buy a wild-caught bird for a pet.(Don’t feel sorry for the bird, as the supplier will just replace it with another if you purchase it) Do not buy furniture, building materials and other items made from mahogany, rosewood, teak or ebony. These are rainforest woods. Buy purpose grown wood, such as pine. The Parrot Rescue Centre conservation initiative is in place to help provide an awareness to all, that if we do not support conservation organisations, who then will protect our native wildlife. We hope that our membership and support of these large organisations who do so much for our eco system, will encourage you to become an active member, also remember together we can and will continue to make a difference.
