So far this year police in Brazil have rescued almost 14,000 illegally captured wild animals.
The period from September to December is the busiest time for officers, as it is breeding season for macaws and parrots who leave their eggs and young offspring vulnerable to poachers.
Iracema Sodre reports.

Salvatore Angius, the filmmaker behind CaliforniaFlocks, said that he has filmed 13 parrot species in over 30 cities in his quest to raise awareness of the charming birds. The new video may be his best yet, as it captures the personality of two species of wild parrots as they pair up to start their families.

It has taken us just 70 years to almost wipe-out one of the most abundant parrots on earth, converting the species into one of the most abundant, well-known and widespread pets on earth. Millions upon millions have been captured and removed from the wild to accommodate booming demand over the last century. (via Unsustainable Grey Parrot Trade in South Africa – News Watch)
“They can really turn on the charm,” says Betsy Lott, smiling. That combination of beauty and charm has helped make parrots like Sofia the fourth most popular pet in America—behind only dogs, cats, and the ubiquitous freshwater fishes. But there’s a dark side to our passion for parrots, and Sofia embodied that too. Once an elegant bird in white feathers, she’s now a tattered beauty, her feathers ragged and her chest plucked bare, showing a big patch of wrinkled pewter gray skin.

Dear prospective bird owner: So you see us in the pet store or online. Or your friend has a bird. And we look reaaaally cute. It’s true. We’re amazing. But before you start planning our weddings and picking out china, you’ve gotta know a few things about parrots. The basic gist is that we’re not really pets—we’re wild animals. But it’s easier to show than tell, right? Let’s dive in. 1. A bunch of us don’t talk. Sorry. 2. We will poop on your floors. We will poop on your clothes. Sometimes we’ll eat your clothes first, and then we’ll poop on them. We’re not really interested in being trained to go outside like dogs (we’ll fly away, silly), and litter boxes are for actual pets, like cats. 3. What’s yours is ours. What’s ours is ours. We will destroy your stuff for the sole reason that it gives us something to do (we’re super intelligent and need LOTS of stimulation; did we tell you that?). We’re told this is totally cute when it’s something you don’t care about. Apparently less amusing when it’s your social security card? Whatever; we don’t care. 4. We are not decoration (I know; weird, cause we’re gorgeous, right?). But we’re as smart as your toddler, have interests of our own, and some of us are going to outlive you. And unlike that toddler, we are never going to grow out of the terrible 2’s. Never. ..... http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/pet_birds/tips/open_letter_to_bird_owner.html
Ugandan police discovered around 130 of the birds in January as they were being illegally transported across he country's porous border with Democratic Republic of Congo. Dozens of the birds later died after tests carried out by wildlife authorities showed that they had been sedated with alcohol-infused sugarcane ahead of the journey.
