Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any rescue centres in Sydney Australia? I would love to volunteer at a Parrot Rescue but finding it very difficult to find them :-(

AFAIK, the only thing remotely like a rescue centre is the RSPCA. Our local one holds a few native birds, including injured parrots brought in by the public, but it's very small and low-key. It's been my experience that when Australian people get sick of their parrots, they simply open the cage and release them 'back to Nature' (ie. to a slow and awful death). It's disgusting for a country that contains so many of the world's beloved parrots and touts itself as being environmentally savvy! :(

Betrisher, very true! When you put it that way, it really is disgusting! Point well made.
