Where the Wild Greys Are: A Day in the Life of Africa's Grey Parrots by Diana May & Valerie Hovetter - For hundreds of years, African Grey parrots have been trapped and exported from West Africa to be kept as pets in Europe and elsewhere, leading to potential extinction in the wild. This video from the World Parrot Trust includes some of the first sound scientific information about the African Grey parrot lifestyle in the wild and the risks of trapping them for the pet trade. The World Parrot Trust is vehemently opposed to the trapping of any bird in the wild, and is conducting a campaign to ask the European Union to bring a total ban on the importation of birds. A portion of sale proceeds will help fund this campaign.
