"Meet Lou. Abandoned in a foreclosed home, Lou is one of thousands of parrots in need of rescue. From the wilds of Costa Rica to suburban America, a loveable, quirky cast of parrots will reveal their unforgettable tales and the bittersweet world they share with humans. Their outrageous intelligence and uncanny ability to communicate in any language has made parrots one of the worlds most popular pets. But unlike dogs and cats, parrots have not been domesticated. Hardwired for the wild, their ear-shattering squawks and unpredictable behavior are designed for the rainforest, not the suburbs. Add a lifespan of 50+ years to their intense need to bond, and a life in captivity often ends in disaster. With shelters and sanctuaries bursting at the seams, too many birds such as Lou have no place to go."
