Parrots Moved From Miami Seaquarium to Sanctuary

Four parrots who were suffering at the Miami Seaquarium, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture cited for confining birds to rusted cages in areas with noxious air, were moved to the Peaceable Primate Sanctuary in Indiana, where they’ll no longer be neglected and exploited. Three of the birds exhibited excessive self-plucking, a sign of psychological distress, and at least two of them suffered from parrot wasting disease. At their new sanctuary home, they’ll receive proper care, healthy food, and appropriate social housing. PETA is helping to fund the construction of the birds’ spacious new enclosures at the facility.
