Confiscated Grey Parrot

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???

Oh Somba, I don’t want you to think this post was ignored by me…I will try to send some money next week to help feed this beautiful, very curious bird. Does he nibble on your ears when he sits on your shoulder? Just don’t let any of them get a hold of your nose, ouch! Please tell Ms. Rosie, she is a very special person and we thank her for helping these parrots.

Hi Somba, you are so funny. A passionate parrot? I love African Greys, I hope you learn to love your three charges too - they are not just talkative, but super intelligent too. Jane Goodall has an amazing story about an African grey parrot that could tell jokes and read the mind of it’s keeper! I hope you are not thinking anything bad the parrot will tell Rosie!

Paula,

You have reason. I had heard for Jane Goodall who were dealing with Gorillas in East of DRCongo. Those greys are able to dennounce a very thing which is done by a strange personne when Rosy is out. Carefully when you are living in Rosy’s house.

Hi Somba…true to my word, these birds will have a treat! I use to let my birds peck at my teeth…until the vet said my bacteria could harm them! So they would cuddle next to my ear, pure heaven.
