Parrots and also cockatoos are very proud, intellectual and long-lived animals, which enchant many people with their exoticism and ability. But it is rarely considered that parrots have a life expectancy of at least 80 years, that they need conspecifics and want to fly. These wonderful animals are "squeezed" into a living room, for entertainment. And if the animal is too noisy or too much work, going to the shelter is not infrequently the next option. A couple from Munich made it their business to help exactly these poor feathers and founded a sanctuary. In the end, they also had to realize: they are not getting any younger! Seeking help, they turned to Gut Aiderbichl and we were allowed to help.
