VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 8 (Reuters) - Canada's largest parrot refuge wants to avoid being the victim of a plan to kill an estimated 19 million birds to stop an outbreak of avian influenza, its president said on Thursday.
Officials have ordered bird flocks in the Fraser Valley near Vancouver culled to keep the disease from spreading, but the For the Love of Parrots Rescue Society plans to fight to have its 400 avian residents excluded.

 When is a species extinct, even though living members
still exist? Before we can look at an answer to this grave and tantalizing
question, let’s look at the Spix’s Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii).
This gray-headed, blue-bodied bird was thought to be gone from the wild
until 1990, though some still remained in private hand in captivity around
the world (and still do). Then, traveling in the forests near Curaca,
Brazil, two ornithologists spotted one lone male Spix, the last of its
kind to have known life at the tops of the trees. It was the only Spix on
earth eating a diet perfectly suited to its nature. It was the only Spix
which knew the local seasonal variations in fruits, and in water, as any
farmer would know his own land. This was the only living Spix which knew,
from its own experience and from watching the experiences of others, what
living threats to its survival were all around.

 They'd never seen a scarlet macaw except in a cage.
So this best-selling author and her ornithologist husband decided to seek the magnificent bird in one of its last strongholds:
Corcovado National Park.

One of our unclipped Cockatiels flew out the door on Saturday March 20, the first day of spring. My Girlfriend and I loaded the mate of the one that flew off into the vet trip cage and started to drive the neighborhood with the cage in back of the truck to sing and hopefully hear a call back from the mate...
