32 Years in a Cage: Rescued Parrot's Story Highlights Wildlife Conservation

Antioquia, Colombia: A parrot's 32-year ordeal ends with a rescue. A green parrot, discovered in Antioquia, Colombia, has been rescued after spending 32 years in captivity. Its significantly overgrown beak and claws served as clear indicators of its prolonged confinement, according to authorities. "The abnormal growth of its beak and claws is proof that it never climbed a tree," stated an official from the environmental authority in Antioquia. The parrot, now receiving care, highlights the plight of animals kept illegally as pets. The authorities are using this case to remind the public that parrots are wild animals and should not be kept as pets. The successful rescue offers a glimmer of hope for the future of wildlife conservation and responsible pet ownership in the region.
