P4P 2020 Challenge Announcement: The 2020 fundraising year was even more of a challenge due to the Covid-19 Pandemic!! That being said, we are HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE that despite all the setbacks faced we were able to raise Cdn$3,140!!!! It never ceases to amaze me how such small amounts can add up. The conversion into US$ allowed us to send US$2,500 to Parrots International who will in turn see that 100% of these funds are used in the field for United for the Macaws AC http://www.macawforever.org/ This is another project supported by Parrots International and one that Pennies4Parrots has also supported in the past. As the Lear’s Macaws were not in such a precarious situation this year, we chose to re-direct the proceeds raised to another very worthwhile cause.
A special thanks to our sole participant this year, namely Emerald Feather – Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

HELP SAVE THE ABACO PARROT

Abaco Parrot Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Food Program:

Abaco, The Bahamas: Amazona leucocephala bahamensis

The Abaco Parrot and it's habitat were devastated by Hurricane Dorian on September 1, 2019. A Category 5 hurricane with 180-185 mile per hour winds (290-297 kph), 17-23 foot storm surge, and 4 feet of rain in 24 hours. Amazingly, research on Caribbean islands (Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic) has shown that a percentage of parrots can survive the initial onslaught, only to starve to death days later due to the destruction of their natural sources for food. The Abaco Parrot Emergency Supplemental Food Program is designed to provide food sources during the interim period until the habitat regenerates. CRUCIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE PARROTS IN THE WILD.

PLEASE DONATE AND HELP SAVE THE ABACO PARROT!

Relief efforts are coordinated with the Bahamas National Trust, the conservation division of the government.

The Bahama Parrot on Abaco differs because it’s the only known parrot that nests in the ground in the Western Hemisphere and has adapted to fire and hurricanes. This little Amazon Parrot faces pressures from predation and fierce hurricanes. Over the years Parrots International has donated more than $50,000.00 to help protect the Bahamian Parrot. These funds have provided predator control, nesting studies, demography studies, post hurricane studies, and annual censuses for the Bahama Parrot. Additional donations have been made by Parrots International to The Bahamas National Trust to help Caroline Stahala with her study of the nesting ecology of Bahama Parrots on the Island of Inagua.

ACTP (Association for the Conservation of Endangered Parrots) has already responded with a generous donation.
