SIGN THE PETITION: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/5/save-the-parrots-of-troy-ohio/
Owner: Doug Ratcliff – who currently is refusing to allow volunteers to feed and water
10 birds have been rescued and are being cared for at Dayton South Veterinary Clinic but dozens more are remain in wretched conditions at the home, 30 birds have already died.
Initially Ratcliff allowed members of the Miami Valley Bird Club to rescue the 10 birds, and to begin offering food and water to those that remained. However, in an interview with a veterinarian in the article above:
““Now, he has put a stop on everything, and they are no longer allowed to go in and feed, clean or water,” Brauer said.”
Please help save the parrots! Here is contact information for government officials:
