Really, where are you in the world?

Super, thanks for the feedback. It's been really fun to see which parts of PollyVision the birds respond to ... usually it's their own species, not surprisingly. They'll watch the rest with mild to moderate interest, but then when "their" birds are on screen, they get very excited! Thanks for sharing.

This was magical to watch .

We all have to stop the wild caught trade in parrots that is still happening all over our World.

@darkvor1 No chance.

can an african grey raised in captivity be turned free with these birds and survive?

I hope people stop viewing parrots as pets and realize they are better off left in their outside homes.

The president of Cameroon (Paul Biya) must stop his illegal logging that is destroying the Cameroon rain forest. We need videos like this one to show the world the beautiful nature of Cameroon.

It is now illegal to import Greys into North America under CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). It is still legal to import them into Europe, but conservation groups such as The World Parrot Trust are working towards changing this. Fortunately, Greys can be successfully bred in captivity, which may help to cut down on some overseas trading.

Not true. My husband and I loved our baby equally, and now she loves us both and either of us can handle her without being bitten. I'm her mommy and my husband is her daddy. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen. But she hates my son, ha-ha!

It's strange on my part as a parrot owner. These guys in the wild live outside, in the rain and the cold as much as the wind and the sunshine, yet I worry like crazy about my parrot being outside when it's windy or cold! She shakes in the cold weather, yet these guys just make do!
