For those interested, here's an article about my visit to the Belize Bird Rescue and an interview about the wild bird trade there:

THANK YOU!!! I love it when one can 'tie' an article to a personal experience - especially when we also get photos!

Thank you for posting the link to your interview with the Belize Rescue. It was very informative and interesting; I found myself nodding my head in agreement with much of what she said.

Your plane ride gave me anxiety but you did a great job!
