RE: Parrots in wilderness or captivity?
There are so many cases in which both the parrot and its owners are happy with the situation - the parrot gets lots of out of cage time to fly, toys, proper food and attention - that it really baffles me that some people still think they'd be better off in the wild. I really don't see the issue when both parts clearly benefit from the "arrangement".

Wild caught birds could hardly benefit from that, though. I know a lot of species are not endangered or even close to that, but these birds don't trust humans and are used to live a certain way. Change that and it's a lot of stress for them, and stress can wreck a bird's health. I like to think of them as individuals, not just a collective speciesof which a number can be disposed of since they're so plentiful.
