Care: We care for each individual's needs and where necessary, endeavour to restore
sick or malnourished individuals back to good physical and mental health.
Knowledge: We aim to raise public awareness of parrots' needs by promoting parrot welfare,
responsible stewardship and good parrot husbandry.
Help: The Helpline Service offers advice on all aspects of
parrot care and any problems that parrot people may
have. Informative and educational literature is
available upon request. A £1.50 cheque or postal order,
made payable to NLPR, is required to cover expenses.

The problem
Unfortunately, when any exotic species becomes a victim
of captivity, the restrictions put upon most individuals
are overwhelming. Many animals are imprisoned in small cages,
deprived of freedom, exercise, stimulation, and are
often fed a very poor diet.
Most people who keep them
do not understand the necessary overall care of parrots.
As a result of their living conditions, many
parrots suffer from insanity and nutritional deficiency.
These are the underlying causes behind many clinical
symptoms which we see, including feather plucking and
self-mutilation.
