Mitred Parakeets found love after being rescued
These Mitred Parakeets (Psittacara mitratus) are some of the two hundred parrots that were rescued after being taken from the wild to be illegally sold in the black market. Considering that only 1 in 10 animals survive trafficking, you can imagine how many have died so that people could have them in their homes. They now live in a large aviary, at a rescue center, where they live the best life they can under the circumstances, but it will never be like it was supposed to.
Parakeets are small and medium-sized species of parrot, from multiple genera, that have long tail feathers, in general. The term "conure" is used for small to medium-sized parakeets of the genera Aratinga, Pyrrhura, and a few other genera of the tribe Arini, which are mainly endemic to South America, but taxonomists tend to avoid the term because they are not all in the same genus.
Parrots, macaws, parakeets, and parrotlets belong to the Psittacidae family, the one with the most species at risk of extinction of all the bird families. In the last few centuries, several species have gone extinct. All species are found in tropical and subtropical zones.
Psittacids are some of the most intelligent birds, with a highly developed brain, and can imitate all sorts of sounds. Some species can live for over fifty years. They generally mate for life, choosing their partner when they are still young, and share chores, preparing the nest together. The male feeds the female while she is nesting, and they both care for the chicks.
Parakeets often breed more readily in groups, as the presence of other parakeets encourages a pair to breed.
After drugs and weapons, the illegal wildlife trade is the third most valuable illicit commerce in the world. Do not support the pet trade; do not buy wildlife products! Wild animals should be wild and free!
