Wild Parrots of Los Angeles: Red-crowned Amazon, Red-lored Amazon, and Yellow-headed Amazons over the weekend. LA has a large parrot population due to the pet trade, and there are more parrots here than in their native lands due to habitat loss.

Wildlife trafficking not only robs an ecosystem of essential wildlife, it condemns a living, intelligent being to a life of uncertainty and fear. #wildlifetrafficking #Amazonparrots

So much happening these days with the illegal wildlife trade of yellow-naped Amazon parrots. 81 parrots seized in China last month, smuggled as eggs in incubation suitcases. Loss of seed dispensers like Amazon parrots limits forest regeneration and further decreases our ability to combat climate change. It's the new world version of the elephant poaching crisis. #parrots #Amazonparrots #wildlifecrime #drytropjcalforest #pasopacifico
