On Sunday, June 21, CBS Sunday Morning News aired a terrific piece spelling out how difficult it is to care for parrots, and the crisis being caused as people continue to buy them. It is informative and well worth watching. Check it out on line at http://tinyurl.com/knd5ef

Finally, and importantly, please send a quick note to reporter Bill Whitaker and the CBS Sunday Morning news team thanking them for the story.
