RE: Parrots in wilderness or captivity?
Yes, my pet cockatiel is decended from birds that were originally wild-caught. However, birds have been kept as pets for thousands of years, so today, there are more than enough captive-bred and raised birds to meet the demands of the pet market. I simply don't see any reason to catch a healthy wild bird to make him or her a pet when there are so many captive birds that need homes. A part of me wishes that people wouldn't have ever interfered with wild birds in the first place and would have left them alone. On the other hand, I'd be lying if I said I also wasn't glad that I have the opportunity to bond with a bird.
