Formerly widespread over much of Africa, the Grey Parrot is now threatened throughout much of its natural range and is disappearing from many countries. Wild populations are in trouble due to habitat destruction, poaching, capture for the domestic and international pet trade, and land use resource conflicts. These charismatic and popular birds need our help.
The Save the Greys Fund has been launched to help these beautiful parrots survive in the wild.
The fund's objectives to protect Greys
End the trade in wild caught African parrots
Rehabilitate and release confiscated birds
Encourage sustainable alternatives to parrot trapping
Re-establish wild populations in suitable areas of their former range
Raise awareness for the plight of wild Grey Parrots
