PETITION UPDATE!

 

Hello supporters- bad news….again…
The birds at the sale were still terrorised, eating their foods amongst their faeces, birds forced in small boxes/cages- looking so depressed.
Nothing has changed.
Except now you ALL know the truth about the bird industry and the lack of Government empathy.

 
We will continue to push the Victorian government to immediately

BAN BIRD SALES AND BREEDING!

WE WON’T EVER GIVE UP!

Thanking you sincerely for your comments and support,

“Agapi’s Sanctuary” Companion Birds Rescue- Adoption- Foster 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Agapi’s Sanctuary” is Heaven on Earth in Melbourne, Australia- where birds can be themselves.

No small cages, no threats, no wing clipping, no forced bird training, no obstacles.

ONLY privacy, security, love and freedom to fly all day!

The bird children have the freedom to think and behave as they wish and to evolve within a loving, trusting and safe environment and be regarded as children within her family.

Birds DO NOT need to be trained, blackmailed or coerced- THEY CAN ACTUALLY THINK FOR THEMSELVES & HAVE GREATER LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE THAN MANY HUMANS.

Paris  has been rescuing and adopting birds that need a loving and caring home. As the number of birds needing new homes is expanding, she is looking for similar homes that will provide the highest standard of care and love for birds- only highest standards.

Paris is looking for new homes/foster homes for the constant amount of birds that need a new human family. The selection criteria is strict and of high standards only. New families must adhere to at least the following  before considered:

• Birds are NEVER to be wing clipped- this causes major emotional and physiological damage to the bird- if you don\’t want your companion animal to fly then please adopt a dog, cat, or rabbit instead- BIRDS ARE BORN TO FLY.
• Private, safe and secure property- no cats or dogs on property that are prone to harm and scare birds
• Ethical, aesthetic and clean aviaries with access to fresh clean branches as perches- bigger than 2 meters wide square for smaller birds e.g. budgerigars, canaries and 6 meters wide for larger parrots e.g. cockatoos
• Birds are not to be kept indoors in home all day as this is unhealthy and unsafe for birds- birds require fresh air, sunlight (vitamin D) and to interact with nature and wild birds
• Birds are not to be kept in cages of any size at all e.g small cages or  even 1.5ms wide cages- doors should always be open to allow the bird to come and go as they please
• Owners must have the resources e.g. money and time and effort to care for the birds and seek medical tests/attention when necessary
• Owners must be prepared to prepare fresh meals daily for birds eg organic fruits/vegetables, fresh water throughout the day with vitamins, organic pastas/foods
• All birds to undertake initial through blood tests (on foot NEVER on body or under anaesthetic) e.g. clamydia, psittacosis, beak and feather at their expense or the previous owner where possible- receipts provided
• Human owners should not have serious emotional problems .eg. serious grieving, depression, mental health problems as the birds are not their therapist and the birds suffer by not living in a healthy home environment
• Homes  and aviary environments are to be free of physical/mental abuse,smoke, drug and \”alcoholic\” free
• New owners to be happy to liaise with Paris and discuss behavioural and care requirements for birds- no costs involved.

These are just few basic criteria.

As you can see it is not just a matter of taking a bird, leaving the bird in a cage and feeding the birds seeds and cheap commercial foods.

Caring for a bird is similar to caring for human.

The psychology of a bird is the same as the psychology of a person.

ONLY a person who spends 24/7 caring for a bird KNOWS & understands the mind and behaviour of a bird.

 

Paris is a Holistic Counsellor/Behaviourist for birds and people and a companion bird welfare campaigner. She is dedicating her life purpose and spiritual journey to saving birds, introducing laws and education for the welfare of birds (companion and wild) especially companion birds within Australia and liaises with similar campaigners globally.

Paris consults from a professional home office where she can interact with and balance feeding/caring for her precious bird family. She has given talks to schools and various events and welcomes the opportunity to spread her words of love and care for birds as Australia- wide as possible.

Please be patient in expecting replies when contacting her as she is constantly helping bird owners and birds!

 

MORE INFORMATION TO BE ADDED CONSTANTLY regarding our Bird Adoption program…

Birds kept as Companion Animals- PETA

In Australia and around the world, birds are commonly kept as companion animals – often in totally inappropriate housing and conditions – as people often believe that they are somehow easier to care for than dogs and cats. In reality, they require more specialised care, commitment, and resources than dogs and cats do.

---

Evolved to fly long distances, swoop and soar, and perch on high branches while seeking out food provided by nature, birds kept as companions are instead confined to cages where they can barely spread their wings, let alone fly, and given a monotonous diet of seeds. click here for more 

Peace and love to all companion birds!
And to all your families and animals and wildlife!

Friends, Charlie,  a bird seller on gumtree is text and email shy- so how about you send him an email or text  0408 460 401 and tell him he has committed bird abuse and breached the Australian bird welfare standards- what a shocking condition for birds to be allowed to be sold in Australia- SAVE THIS ECLECTUS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/reservoir/birds/young-eclectus-parrot-/1093914012  and pdf version here Young Eclectus Parrot _ Birds _ Gumtree Australia Darebin Area – Reservoir _ 109

Hello friends- a local Birdkeeper magazine and their writer David Pace realised I had a defamation claim over them, when I posted publicly that they lied about me in one of their online and printed articles.

So they have scurried off like rats quickly editing the original article about me, and calling me an Animal Liberationist which is new to me! I am a qualified and experienced Bird Behaviourist and Mental Health Counsellor and Life Coach amongst other professions which are posted all over the internet, for literate people to find!

I am not surprised Birdkeeper and David Pace would stoop to low unprofessional levels and accuse and publicly defame me – just to cover their industry’s shortcomings. If bird magazines and bird breeders/sellers think they can defame people and get away with it legally and not harm their own reputation as being cunning, they are in the wrong business. People are smart. They see clearly the liars from the truth tellers.

The original article written by David Pace and printed in the Birdkeeper magazine that is sold all over the world is here:

Concern for the Future of Bird Sales in Victoria original

Their amended article after they realised they stuffed up and defamed me is here…..Concern for the Future of Bird Sales in Victoria amended but too late- the original has been sent to everyone including government authorities to see how much they would lie to cover their faults and guilt for the business they are in: treating birds as money slaves.

And for Bird’s sake- get my website links right in your publications- breeders aren’t interested in homeopathy- post them to the right page would you! here it is in case you can’t find it: http://www.letcompanionbirdsfly.com.au

These images are of birds displayed/sold in small cages in an un-natural environment at the recent annual Mornington Peninsula Bird sale in Victoria 31 May 2015. Bird breeders and sellers believe that this is ‘acceptable.’

Thanking Adobe Acrobat Pro in advance for saving the original letter as proof of publishing incompetence.

Thanking Mercury Retrograde for exposing the liars ( you all know me and astrology)!

Oh! And that Concerns Notice for Defaming me in on the way too.

Bird Behaviourist & Counsellor- first and foremost…

We’ve been acknowledged by Jane Velez Mitchell from the USA on her social media sites!  Thanks Jane!

Paris Yves: “I need more aussie animal education and welfare groups to join me and speak up for companion birds- bird behaviour and applied behaviour analysis is easy to understand- don’t be shy- it is one of the main basis for understanding birds and justifying their freedom to be birds and not kept as breeding slaves”.

---

We’ve been acknowledged by Jane Velez Mitchell from the USA on her social media sites.

After a stellar career in traditional broadcast journalism, Jane Velez-Mitchell is wholeheartedly embracing new media — and she’s doing it in the service of what she calls “the social justice movement of the 21st century.”

That movement is animal rights, the focus of Velez-Mitchell’s new website, JaneUnchained, and her online subscription video series, Defining Moments.

“I had been talking to animal advocates for a long time, and they were saying we need to become the media for animals,” she says. The “we” she refers to isn’t just Velez-Mitchell and her partner in life and work, Donna Dennison, but fellow activists she encourages to contribute their own news videos. “Anybody with a cell phone camera can be a photojournalist,” she says.

Well, that may be the case, but most of them don’t have Velez-Mitchell’s résumé. She spent more than a decade as an anchor and reporter for Los Angeles TV station KCAL, plus eight years as a reporter for WCBS in New York City and stints with other major-market stations and on syndicated shows. She won several awards along the way, then gained national fame with an HLN show bearing her name, which ran for six years before it ended last fall.

Friends, click the link below in the Australian Birdkeeper magazines that represent bird breeders and sellers.

Seems they have a rat in their group against THEM and they are scapegoating me…

I did no such thing…but they got me thinking now…..

Please sign and share petition to BAN BIRD SALES IN AUSTRALIA

Birds are born to fly and forage freely!!

But birds can’t fly in Australia.

Australian companion birds continue to be subjected to a miserable life!

You don’t need to look far to see bird abuse and neglect and horrible bird exploitation.

Birds can’t fly in Australia – media release 25 May 2015
MEDIA RELEASE
For immediate release
Melbourne, 25 May 2015

Birds can’t fly in Australia: Welfare laws branded an ‘embarrassment’
While an Indian court ruled this week that birds cannot be kept in cages, Australian birds continue to be subjected to a miserable life, says bird behaviourist Paris Yves.

Terrified parrots crammed into tiny, dirty boxes: This was the sight that greeted Melbourne-based bird behaviourist and campaigner Paris Yves at the 2014 Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society Bird Sale & Expo in Victoria. She fears a similar scenario at the upcoming live bird sales at Skye on Sunday 31 May 2015.

Yves, who rescues birds, is calling for the federal government to ban the sale of birds and review the paltry welfare laws for captive caged birds, which she says are an “embarrassment” to Australia, particularly in light of a ground-breaking ruling by Delhi High Court this week.

Chief Justice Manmohan Singh of the Andhra Pradesh High Court India recognised that birds have the “fundamental right to live in dignity” outside of cages and condemned bird trading.

In stark contrast, companion bird welfare is ignored in Australia. “Companion birds are forced by owners, pet shops and bird breeding mills and breeder bird sales to live their lives in small cages and not fly,” says Yves. “There are no laws to protect birds here, only codes of conduct that are authorised by the state governments to be drafted by the same bird breeders and bird associations who have been guilty of bird abuse and neglect for at least 30 years.”

According to Yves, the constant breeding and captivity results in huge psychological and physiological trauma to birds. “I could easily rescue thousands of birds every day. There is an oversupply and most of these poor birds are sold or traded to inexperienced bird carers who perceive them as a ‘pretty object.’ Most other birds are stolen as eggs from their mothers and incubated in bedrooms throughout Australia,” says Yves.

Yves is calling for all Australian states to:
• ban bird sales and bird breeding
• ban the import and sale of cages that do not allow birds to fly freely
• introduce mandatory bird behaviour and welfare laws.

“The bird breeders and bird sellers have taken advantage of the fact that no authority is monitoring or enforcing laws to protect how birds are handled and cared for. We need to follow India’s lead in recognising that these intelligent beings deserve protection,” says Yves.

Following up from my ongoing petition to  Minister for Agriculture- Victoria Hon Jaala Pulford

“Ban Companion Bird Sale” on Sunday 31 May 2015- at Skye, Victoria

Dogs Victoria at Skye, Victoria,  has hired their premises to companion bird breeders and sellers this Sunday 31 May.

Dogs Victoria has been respectfully asked to cancel the event and not hire their premises again to the bird sellers.

Whilst they state:” Dogs Victoria no way condones the mistreatment of any animal”  they seem to have allowed and approved the bird sellers last year to re-hire their premises again this year.

Dogs Victoria can be contacted at http://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/AboutUs/StateDogCentre.aspx 

and respectfully asked to cancel this Sunday’s bird sale.

If the bird sale goes ahead, Dogs Victoria will be one of those involved condoning bird abuse.

Hello Bird Lovers

You all know I am all about ’empathy’ and ‘justice.’

Anyone who empathises with people and animals, advocates human and animal rights.

I have not met a person who understands and empathises with human abuse who does not accept animal rights and strongly oppose animal abuse. This is common knowledge.

Most of you are aware that understanding and respecting human behaviour leads to understanding and empathising with human dignity and rights. Same applies for birds. Those who do not connect these 2 together fail in understanding or wanting to understand that learning about behaviour inevitably leads to respect and empathy.

If you cannot understand behaviour of a person, then you cannot understand behaviour of a bird/animal. And vice versa.

If you cannot ‘love’  yourself or a person, then you cannot love another.

There are endless research studies confirming that domestic violence and abusers of people are directly linked to abusers of animals. Where there is no empathy, there is no heart/ empathy in  the person.

Because in order to understand people and animals, you require empathy and respect innately.

You cannot empathise for a person’s rights and ignore animal rights, environmental rights etc. This would not be rational or logical.

Anyone who accepts animal/bird violence, abuse and neglect clearly lacks self love, empathy and self love for others, and obviously has negative motives in their pleasure of abusing people and animals/birds.

More often those motives are ‘money’ and reasons are serious mental health problems that should be addressed by a professional to help the person live a more positive and holistic life.

And then there are the psychopaths:  diminished empathy and remorse, and disinhibited or bold behavior.

You can see pictures and read all about bird abuse and ’empathy-lackers on my website below:

Hello companion bird welfare supporters!

Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement, support and effort to sign my petition.

Please email Minister Jaala Pulford at jaala.pulford@parliament.vic.gov.au to ban the Bird Sale at Skye, Victoria on Sunday 31 May and
also email the State Dog Centre at office@dogsvictoria.org.au to ban the Bird Sale that is scheduled at their venue.

This sale should not go on!

The same bird sale last year (and every other year for at least 30 years) was shocking! Why have the RSPCA, DEPI and no other authorities that I reported this abuse to last year, not made POCTA (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act) charges??

Please send brief emails to the above and keep sharing the petition.

TOGETHER, with me and my bird family, please be the voice of Companion Birds of Australia!!

TOGETHER We can save them and let them fly once again!!

Thanking you all sincerely

Birds are born to Fly.
But Victorians have stopped them flying!!!
In May 2014, I was in shocked to see cruelty toward birds, at the annual bird sale run by the Mornington Peninsula Aviculture Society (MPAS) and the Victorian Aviculture Council (VAC):
• Most of the birds were physically and emotionally distressed and ill.
• All birds were housed in small boxes/ cages which fit the bird exactly- many of the larger birds could not walk comfortably or stretch their wings even- flying was not an option for any bird.
• There were bright lights and people hovering over the birds constantly- no privacy or quiet time for the birds.
• The boxes/cages were filthy and some rusty. In most cases, bird food was placed under the bird’s perch and on the ground, where the bird’s faeces would be also.
So we want to stop this sale happening again in few weeks!!

Australian Petition- STOP all breeding and selling of birds/parrots & animals on facebook

Australian Petition- STOP all breeding an selling of birds/parrots & animals on facebook

Petition at: https://www.change.org/p/facebook-stop-all-breeding-an-selling-of-animals-on-facebook

Please sign this petition to stop all selling of birds/animals on facebook- especially within Australia.

There are too many breeders and general public members selling or trading animals as  a hobby and business and that is just plain wrong.

Facebook needs to stop the breeding an selling of animals on its pages an in its groups,there is way too unwanted animals being sold as meat or being put to death, STOP BREEDING AN SELLING ANIMALS ON FACEBOOK

Does anyone recognise this scum male? Please report him asap-even if he takes down the picture from facebook- we all have a copy of it- he should be charged and locked up-

The Link

Over the past 30 years, researchers and professionals in a variety of human services and animal welfare disciplines have established significant correlations between animal abuse, child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and other forms of violence. Mistreating animals is no longer seen as an isolated incident that can be ignored: it is often an indicator or predictor crime and a “red flag” warning sign that other family members in the household may not be safe.

We call this species-spanning interconnectedness of different forms of violence The Link. The National Link Coalition is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative initiative to increase awareness and address public policy, programs and research. We serve as the National Resource Center on The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence. We want to stop the cycle of violence that often affects multiple family members. To achieve this critical goal, we need your help.
Read more about The Link.

This is happening in Australia too- I and others have seen it for ourselves-  the authorities will ban breeding very soon and will criminalise bird breeding, bird selling, bird abuse.

The bird sales are on all over Australia with stressed, terrified birds in small boxes.

Online bird ads portray shocking conditions of birds in Australia. It’s there in black and white.

Imagine what happens behind closed doors in Australian backyards and bird mill businesses.

Cowards, criminals and physically/mentally lazy people earning money from abusing a highly intelligent species. When this is done to human children, criminals are thrown in jail.

So why do we accept ‘people’ abusing birds who have the emotional intelligence of a human being?

And why do we acceptthose who use birds as slaves….paying off humans’ mortgages, school fees, holidays….pure slavery and inhumanity.

The universe has a way of spraying magic and justice…..and karma. The days are numbered for the lazy.

 

Animal control workers were left scrambling Thursday afternoon after taking about 30 birds and a half-dozen dogs and cats from a mobile home off Racetrack Road.

The birds are underweight and show other signs of stress, according to officials at the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society.

Hello friends- in addition to the bullying and harassment I received last year for exposing bird abuse photos from bird sales in Victoria, I continue to receive harassing texts from revealed phone numbers!!! Anyway, you may be interested in the latest article about me in the Victorian based Bird breeding magazine and distributed throughout Aus- ‘alleged photos’ well as Dr Phil says, let’s get out a lie detector- I will welcome that anytime.
And in the attached photos how proud are the owners of birds standing beside their birds in small dirty cages in this magazine….. check out the article- And unfortunately Carrum Downs Primary school in Victoria have engaged with the large bird club I had exposed-to teach kids about breeding- well, since when have schools become breeding educators? Is that even legal?

As a recent harassing text said to me outright: Quote: “NO BREEDING MEANS NO BIRD SHOPS AND ALOT MORE PEOPLE ON DOLE QUE.’ Yes that is an ACTUAL/REAL carbon copy of part of 2 huge text messages with a phone number revealed. You see, there is no point replying to those who are uneducated and unmotivated to ‘think’ about life and an ethical, respectful personal life journey and job. When people think about earning money by abusing any species, whether it be a person, animal, bird, their mental capacity is narrow.

So, please don’t send negative emails to anyone- it’s a waste of your time and energy.

Those who support bird breeding do not understand bird behaviour and applied behaviour analysis-applied to humans as well- and they are not interested- they just don’t get it- let’s focus on educating the public and governments about ethical and respectful bird care-because if they did understand it, they would not ever contemplate forcing 2 birds to breed, removing eggs or babies from the parents. In the non-human animal world this is called kidnapping and has a criminal charge.

And if anyone is considering harassing myself or others whilst we express our personal and professional point of views and expose bird abuse and bird mills, don’t waste your time. Just remember that the bird mill industry is larger and more abusive than the puppy mill industry….

The difference is, some of us empathise and feel compassion and love….the rest just feel money.

Thank you for your support

Please share love, respect and compassion for all the companion birds in the world! And please send loving energy and thoughts and prayers to the millions of companion birds stuck in cages, in breeder facilities, in pets shops and private homes, suffering alone- not being able to fly or live with love. Please help me set these birds free- help me change government laws to ban bird breeding and to “Let Birds Fly!” in Australia!!!!

Please ADOPT companion birds!
