About this listen

This episode featured Ann Brooks, co-founder of Phoenix Landing Foundation, discussing the organization's 25-year history of helping birds find new homes and promoting parrot care education. Phoenix Landing currently has 3,599 birds in their system, with 17% having returned for subsequent adoptions, highlighting the need for lifelong care commitments. The discussion covered topics including bird lifespans, veterinary care challenges, and the importance of proper education for potential adopters, with Ann emphasizing that birds need to be rehomed when owners can no longer care for them rather than using the term "rescue." The conversation also explored the challenges of black market bird trading and the organization's efforts to combat it through conservation work and eco-tours to places like Brazil, Uganda, and Peru.
