It is said that success is a journey, not a destination and this could not be more true than when dealing with the rescue and adoption of parrots. The success we have enjoyed is not measured by statistics or made for TV stories. We measure success by the kind of people who have come our way, have seen a challenge and stepped up to meet it.

There's not a lot of glory in the challenges, but we've seen people take them on and soar in their spirit and have seen parrots who were doomed have a chance to live out their lives in relative peace - as peaceful as life can be for a wild creature held captive.

These stories are about those parrots and those people who in our eyes are the real successes.
