Parrot News

The babies are obviously thriving and growing, thanks to many volunteers! If you go to this site,you will find a wonderful album created by some of the rescuers (many of whom I know) who are caring for the baby parrots in Mazatlán, México. The photos show the babies at various stages of development as well as being fed by a few of the volunteers. In the past, I've posted part of the story on my blog, scroll back to April 8th and 12th for the full story.

Look What I'm Missing!!

[Photos were taken by Nancy and Paul on their Mazatlán, México blog, Countdown to México. Some of you know that Jaime and I spent the winter months in Mazatlán, and while there we got involved with different activities, one of which included helping to care for animals. We returned to Minnesota on March 30th. A few days after we got home, close to 500 illegally-captured parrots were confiscated by authorities, and close to 300 baby parrots are now being fed and nurtured by volunteer expats and Mexican citizens in their own homes. Visit Nancy and Paul's blog to read a fuller narrative, view two short videos and see some more photos. What a kick, and I'm so jealous that I'm not involved!!
