Epilogue/Insert: <br />
One of <strong>the</strong> most important things <strong>the</strong> small community of people who truly <br />
appreciate <strong>the</strong> magical spirit of parrots can do is help to reduce <strong>the</strong> need for such <br />
refuges in <strong>the</strong> first place. Among o<strong>the</strong>r things, we can educate o<strong>the</strong>rs and raise <br />
awareness about <strong>the</strong> gravity of <strong>the</strong> decision to adopt a parrot. Prospective owners <br />
should consider <strong>the</strong>ir decision as carefully as <strong>the</strong>y would any o<strong>the</strong>r lifelong <br />
commitment: <strong>the</strong>y should be able to say with confidence that <strong>the</strong>y agree to take <br />
this bird for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. <br />
