International Bird Rescue Research Center
It's primary goals were developing oiled wildlife cleaning and rehabilitation techniques, promoting ongoing research in this field and providing oiled wildlife response capabilities. With an oil spill response team of 25 wildlife experts , IBRRC has managed the oiled bird rehabilitation efforts in nearly 150 oil spills in 11 states, including the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. Our international work has taken us to seven different countries and two U.S. territories. Please read more about our efforts and research!


Psittacine Research Project
The Psittacine Research Project is part of the Department of Animal Science at the University of California at Davis. The Project maintains breeding colonies of Orange-winged Amazon parrots and Cockatiels for research and instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Research findings are published in peer-reviewed journals, special publications of the Project and in the Project's Exotic Bird Report newsletter.


PDD ChallengePDD-What is it? It's a disease that can affect anyone's bird and it did affect "Mocha" a beloved Timneh. "Mocha's" mom is helping to raise money for research into this disease more commonly known as "wasting syndrome".

It is an inflammatory response characterized by the accumulation of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the central nervous system of the bird, which supplies the muscles of the digestive organs. Birds may seem depressed, lose weight, have constant or intermittent regurgitation, or have traces of unprocessed seed in their poop. "Mocha" is gone now, but not forgotten!


Alex FoundationAlex is a very famous African Grey parrot who has been the focal point of research into avian intelligence by Dr. Irene Pepperberg. Alex has quite the vocabulary and even recognizes colors and shapes. Alex is so cool that he is the "leading man" in his very own documentary. The Alex Foundation would appreciate any donations to aid Dr. Pepperberg with further funding for her research. If you would like more information on Dr. Pepperberg's work, just click on the picture of Alex.

If people access amazon.com through the Alex Foundation web site (www.alexfoundation.org), we get a few percent of the profit from the purchase....it sure can add up! Cheers--Irene
