Research has shown that as a group, the parrot family — Psittacidae — has a higher percentage of endangered species than any other bird family on earth. Collar et al. (1994) have identified 90 species of parrots that are at risk of global extinction. Amazingly 30% of New World Parrots — 44 species — are considered at risk of global extinction.  

Parrots International supports and promotes conservation and reintroduction efforts on an ongoing basis. We are involved mainly with New World — Neotropical — parrots, as we are US-based and are able to most effectively utilize our funds and volunteer staff within Latin American and the Caribbean, where the highest percentage of endangered parrot species are located.

Sit back, take a tour, and explore the world of parrots in the wild.

Parrots International benefits parrots everywhere

Parrots International is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, not for profit, organization with the goal of benefiting parrots everywhere by promoting and fostering international cooperation.

Parrots International's ambition is to promote the conservation of endangered parrot species and to improve the lives of companion parrots.

We work in cooperation with other conservation organizations, donors, field research teams, responsible aviculturists and parrot clubs to propose, develop and fund conservation projects throughout the world. We support conservation via aviculture and emphasize "in situ" conservation with the premise that "Conservation Happens in the Wild."

Additionally, we promote the education of the public and parrot owners on the proper care and unique requirements of healthy, happy companion parrots.
