Mission: Parrots are beloved by many for their breathtaking beauty and incredible intelligence. Unfortunately, nearly one in three parrot species is threatened in the wild, while many more in captivity suffer from a lack of adequate nutrition, health care and environmental enrichment. The World Parrot Trust (WPT) brings together global wildlife conservation and welfare specialists to lead effective programs to protect parrots, utilizing a science-based approach, decades of first-hand experience in the field, and a deep knowledge of companion parrot husbandry and care. WPT and our partners work together to. . .
