*I**n 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 whatâs happening to birds in the pet industry,
as well as stories from his decades of experience as an animal cruelty
investigator.
Youâll 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.
