Our Mission: Help to ConserveIndonesia's Cockatoos, Parrots, and Lories
• Work with governmental authorities to improve the welfare and survival of confiscated birds
• Rehabilitate and release confiscated parrots back into the wild (Kembali Bebas Avian Center, Seram Island)
• Instill pride in local villagers and children in their birdlife and natural resources
• Teach the principles and lasting value of conservation
• Replace trapping of parrots with sustainable economic alternatives
• Conduct scientific research into the ecology and biology of parrots ( Don Brightsmith, Ph.D, Texas A&M, Scientific Director )
• Serve as a source of information and education
