Find Out How You Can Shut Down Bird Mills

In 2025, World Animal Protection conducted a first-of-its-kind undercover investigation at three bird mills that supply parrots to pet stores across the country.

We found filthy, crowded cages, dead baby birds, and birds suffocated to death. This is the reality for parrots in the pet industry. Hundreds of thousands of parrots are bred in mills and shipped to pet stores across the US every year.

Pete Paxton, Director of Investigation at Strategies for Ethical and Environmental Development, was the investigator who went inside these mills. Hear from Pete about what’s happening to birds in the pet industry, as well as stories from his decades of experience as an animal cruelty investigator.

You’ll also hear from me, Senior Campaigns Manager at World Animal Protection, to learn how you can help shut down bird mills and protect birds from cruelty.

Register for “Where Birds in Pet Stores Come From: Exposing the Horrific Reality of Bird Mills” on March 18 at 2:00 PM EDT.

If you can’t join us on March 18, all registrants will receive a recording of the webinar.

Sincerely,
