World Parrot Trust Gift Guide
World Parrot Trust Gift Guide WPT Gift Guide Greetings! Welcome to our 2nd annual WPT Gift Guide, your source for high quality products for people and parrots. We are grateful for your enthusiastic and continued support. With your help over the past year we were able to extend our conservation, education and welfare efforts including: • Providing the personnel and equipment necessary for aiding the critically endangered Blue-throated Macaw • Assisting over 900 illegally trapped African Grey Parrots by providing the necessary support for their rehabilitation and reintroduction to the wild • Supporting ongoing efforts to curtail the wild bird trade in several regions worldwide including S.E. Asia, Africa, Central and South America This coming year we hope to continue these programs and bring much needed support to more parrots including the Thick-billed, Maroon-fronted, and Bahamas Amazon parrots. By purchasing items from this gift guide via the phone, fax or through our online stores, you are making a difference. Net proceeds from all sales go towards helping save parrots. Best wishes, The World Parrot Trust Team Find more gifts online!
