Parrots and cockatoos are very proud, intelligent and long-lived animals that enchant many people with their exoticism and skill. However, it is rarely considered that parrots have a life expectancy of at least 80 years, that they need conspecifics and want to fly. These wonderful animals are crammed into a living room for the entertainment of humans. And if the animal is too noisy or too much work, the next option is often a trip to the animal shelter. A couple from Munich made it their mission to help these poor pets and founded a sanctuary. In the end, they also realized that they weren't getting any younger! Seeking help, they turned to Gut Aiderbichl and on behalf of all Aiderbichlers we were able to help.
