African Grey Parrot Project

WPT has aided the rescue of over 3,000 Grey Parrots from the wild bird trade

Formerly widespread over much of Africa, the Grey Parrot is now threatened throughout much of its natural range and is disappearing from many countries. Wild populations are in trouble due to habitat destruction, poaching, capture for the domestic and international pet trade, and land use resource conflicts.
The World Parrot Trust has been working with our local branch in Africa and other NGOs and officials to:

• end the trade in wild caught African parrots
• rehabilitate and release confiscated birds
• encourage sustainable alternatives to parrot trapping
• re-establish wild populations in suitable areas of their former range
• raise awareness for the plight of wild Grey Parrots
