Rehabilitated African Grey Parrots Fly Free

Rehabilitated African Grey Parrot

Last year 100 grey parrots were confiscated by ICCN at the vehicle check point in Epulu. The person transporting the parrots had a legal permit for 50 birds, so the OCP returned 50 birds to him when we were given the go ahead by ICCN.  We maintained the 50 remaining parrots in a large aviary at the station for rehabilitation before they were released, as their feathers were damaged when they were trapped using glue on the ground around clay licks. We had to enlarge our holding facility and provide food in many locations so all the birds could get enough to eat.  To read more click here.
