| but we are also concerned with the efforts to alert the public to the injustices of the pet trade and the keeping of flighted animals who have an incredible intelligence as captives for our own desires. | |

| Brian Cullity, also a Board member at Foster Parrots, with his wanderlust for the road less traveled, has opened a new avenue for conservation efforts by the avian welfare/rights community. Trips to Ecuador; Chiapas, Mexico (to see the last of the wild Scarlet Macaws there); Brazil and most recently back to Guyana, have served to educate us in our efforts to become involved in the preservation of parrots in their native lands and, thus, take away the argument offered by the captive breeding industry (for profit rather than true preservation) that they are the only hope for our grandchildren to see parrots. | |

|
| At the time of this writing, we are awaiting a grant for our Guyana Project, and Brian Cullity and Director Marc Johnson will be returning to Guyana in December of 2004 to scout new locations for a tourist lodge. We hope to offer the public our first Foster Parrots - Guyana Eco-Tour in the fall of 2005. Stay tuned for more information as this develops... | |

| Foster Parrots is also staying very active in working with other animal rights/welfare organizations and the need to alert those concerned about animal exploitation to the looming storm clouds in the parrot world. We were admitted as members of the Massachusetts Animal Coalition earlier this year where we, just by our presence, are opening the eyes of many animal rescuers and shelters to the growing parrot overpopulation problem. | |
|
|
|
| We were able to attend the "Empty Cages" conference in October, 2004, where parrots are now included in the Animals Platform. | |
|
|
|
| Another important project that we are passionate about getting started is a permanent sanctuary, The National Parrot Sanctuary, where many of our wilder birds and the many birds who will need sanctuary in the future can live the rest of their lives as free as possible. There is a very long way to go on this project, but everyone agrees that this is a situation that needs to be addressed soon. We welcome and invite your participation in bringing The National Parrot Sanctuary to life. | |

| I
gave Foster Parrots $2,600.00 and all I got was this lousy
t-shirt! Sarah Lutvak recently
celebrated her Bat Mitzvah and instead of accepting gifts for
herself, Sarah asked that donations be made to Foster Parrots.

| In the meantime, we
will continue to do what we have always done, rescue one at a
time, providing them safe haven. We thank all of our supporters
for their continued help with our cause. |
