Parrots: Majestic Birds 

The Australian continent has been home for tens of millions of years to some tough birds.

The golden-shouldered Parrot is one such species that live in the outback and faces threats from human activity, but they’ve adapted well enough over time so far not being affected too much by these changes while still thriving there as their predecessors did before them when Australia was just an exotic land filled with animal life unlike anything else on Earth at this point.

Parrots are Australia’s hardest surviving, and they’re certain it’s the most beautiful. They’re clever, resourceful, opportunistic, and resilient.

We keep them in cages and give them a variety of toys, but their natural state is one where they can find food through instinct alone. We feed the birds seeds from pet stores when really all it takes to get happy are some bugs or other insects that daddy Longlegs might be eating!

Even though these feathered friends live wild lives surrounded by beauty – without our intervention-they have turned out quite differently than what would’ve been expected due solely to how much time we spend interacting with then

This documentary looks at the amazing world of parrots in Australia and the people who love them.

The Domestic Rabbit.

A new documentary created by Anne Billingsley, a recent graduate from the Centre for Art and Technology in Kelowna, B.C., sheds light on how rabbits are misunderstood and abandoned.

The number of abandoned bunnies in Kelowna is staggering. The city has seen thousands running free around its streets, left either because their owners found them too much work or they could no longer care for them due to other commitments such as animal-friendly jobs outside the home that require lots of exercise. If left alone to roam the house, they can cause trouble, like chewing through wires.

Now more than 200 abandoned bunnies call Lake Country’s Warren Peace Bunny Sanctuary home. The not-for-profit takes in bunnies with nowhere else to go, gets them spayed or neutered, and provides any other medical attention required to save their little lives.
