Love birds? Please take one from the Coombs World Parrot Refuge

The Coombs World Parrot Refuge is underfunded and overrun after its founder Wendy Huntbatch died this past winter leaving workers scrambling to find homes for up to 600 parrots and cockatoos.

• Once loved, forgotten parrots face uncertain future

For 15 years the refuge in Coombs, B.C. accepted unwanted or abandoned exotic birds, but can no longer.
