Category: Epulu, General | Date: May 06 2008 | By: admin
I am obliged to denounce this illegal detention of a protect bird as gray parrot in Bandisende village. I let you know that gray parrot is listed on the appendix one of CITES as a protected bird /or animal because it is the only specie which has the ability to imitate man.
Poor confiscated parrot
Rosy which is dealing with conservation for 20 years in DRCongo especially in Okapi Reserve is the one taking care of this parrot. A part the new arrival parrot, 3 passionate are under her surveillance for years in her house. It is nice when working and hearing some talking from those birds, but sometimes I am annoyed of them because it usually comes and seats on my shoulder when working on my computer in Rosy’s house, it can bite when suspecting you as estrange person, isn’t??

On my shoulder, it seats and disturbs me.
The new arrival bird was confiscated from a villager at Bandisende a week ago. Until now, it is not familiarized as others in Rosie’s house. Only palm nut constituted its food.
For several years, Rosie is spending money for feeding these parrots. In captivity, she usually feed them with palm nut, maize, …and this can be evaluated US $150, 00/month for 3 birds.
By the way, we supposed to tame, and feed it accordingly. We are facing an unexpected situation, so we need more budgets 0f US $ 100, are you a volunteer???
