Just sayin that being cooped up in a cage is not a good life for a bird and that it can lead a more satisfactory life living out in the wild. Doesn't matter whether they are bred in captivity. Pet stores are NOT known for their humane treatment of animals.
"What would be best for parrots is if they never became pets" (PRoject Perry Inc.)
Just read this link on bird mills.
http://www.examiner.com/article/bird-mill-s-the-untold-story-of-where-exotic-birds-come-fromEven in a zoo the parrot would be better off because it still as room to fly around. The same goes with fish in the sea.
And I don't think small dogs (chewawa) or even medium sized dogs(golden retriever) could survive out in the wild for long when competing with hyenas, coyotes, foxes and wolves. Let alone your typical house cat which is a very poor hunter and would not be able to escape larger predators in the wild. Domestic animals have been changed significantly through artificially selection and they no longer have the traits to compete with their wild relatives.
So it's ok to keep domestic animals but for tropical animals they are better off in the wild and we humans need to learn to leave them alone. You honestly think your parrot wouldn't live a better life when it is with members of it's own species. They are social creatures and can interact better other parrots than with humans.
The only place other than the wild are zoos or reserves for endangered species so that there are several populations and gene pools around in case of a disaster.
People please educate yourself and ensure we treat our fellow species with the respect they deserve.
