Telegraph: 'Human imprinted' Parrots teach man to speak again

Anonymous said...

These two have gone against expert advice to follow what they believe is right for Milo.
They have put two fingers up at any help they may have been given.
Now they are banging on about how these birds should be allowed to remain within their home,amongst all the soft furnishings and central heating with windows and doors to protect them from flying free.
They are denying these birds the chance to feel natural sunlight and warmth,fresh air in their faces and a more natural way of life.
Milo and JJ did not choose to be handreared, nor their parents before them,neither did their grandparents choose to be plucked from the wild for an 'evil trade'.They were denied the chance of a free life and natural surroundings.They have been 'imprinted' by humans because they know no better.They also retain the instincts given to them by nature.
These two people despite the opinions of others who know better,to their own selfish ends.It is a sad day when someone who mentions 'welfare' in every post has no idea what is best for these birds.
They even have the cheek to belittle those who advise them and then think an apology will cover it.They have exposed themselves as stupid and confirmed the views of people waiting for them to trip over their own stupid argument.Nice one.

By expert, I expect you mean Greg Glendell? May I suggest that there are many other experts who do not agree with his view, who currently have ‘human imprinted’ birds presently in their care, who you could call "experts" because they are actually working with these types of rescue birds in their care as we speak.

There are always two sides to an argument, and Greg has been working on behalf of Wayne who has his own collection of exotic rescue birds to which Mylo and JJ would become a part.

Is Wayne a registered rescue?

Considering there is now such a legal entanglement over these two birds lives, if they were to go to a third party rescue, do you think the authorities would now sanction them going to another unregistered one, exactly what they have just come out of? Especially now there are many people watching what is happening and wanting the best for this pairs poor little lives (Mylo is very happy here at the present moment).

I think if the pair are to go anywhere under the direction of the legal authorities then they would have no alternative but to send them to our other third party recue which is June Edwards of Parrotcare. This rescue is a shining example for how all small to medium size rescues within Great Britain should be run. Someone whose rescue practices and motives are transparent for all to see, who is registered with all of the relevant governing bodies, and who herself has been on the receiving end of a year long hate campaign by the cowboys at UKPR.

Greg Glendell is not the be all and end all of the parrot kingdom; he is a fallible human being who has his own motives, agenda and opinions, who does not like his precious time wasted on ‘petty’ matters involving one or two birds.

He has bigger fish to fry, so in reality this is just a trivial matter, give the birds to Wayne, his friend, and then the end of this story.

You cannot turn back the clocks of time, and Mylo is now 'human imprinted' bird and that cannot be changed.

Take a look at NPS where 'human imprinted' birds are shoved in aviaries with other birds in the belief that they will come back to their senses one day and think they do not need human interaction anymore!!!

What a terribly sad sight it is.

They cling desperately to the fronts of their enclosure wanting that attention when they see people standing there.

You talk about exposing ourselves and tripping up, which says a lot coming from somebody who anonymously supports UKPR, who are proven to lie to get their own way, at the expense of the birds welfare, and is too scared to post his thoughts and accusations on this blog for it to be rebutted properly.

What a sad and weak coward and these birds supposedly have you fighting for their welfare!!!

What a joke and no wonder no laws have been change yet to protect them from just this exact type of situation in the lawless ungoverned world of parrot rescue!

It is stated that Mylo would not receive the sunlight, or air to his face, the more natural way of life as if he would be living in the rainforest. Come on, get back to reality! He would be living in a house in Essex as part of an exotic collection. There is an outside aviary here so when the weather gets a bit better, Mylo like the other birds here, will have the benefit of the sun and coastal air of the North East of England.

Sorry that we feel that going to Wayne is not best for Mylo since he has now settled here. Wayne’s was only ever offered as an emergency from the beginning because Vikky through her spite, demanded him back, and thus prevented him and JJ from potentially having a happy new life here together.

This is a human imprinted bird who has been hand reared, and he is exceptionally happy here now after over 2 weeks, so sorry if that does not bode well for Team UKPR and their fight to reclaim their property whose rights and welfare they themselves abused and trampled underfoot in the fist place.

He now has us fighting in his corner for his rights and long term wellbeing.

Mylo has stopped plucking, and his route tracing behaviour has disappeared, so he cannot be that unhappy anymore can he?

The apology was offered to Wayne because it was not meant to offend him, but reality is sometimes harsh, and now you "anonymous" do not like it!!!

You call us stupid which I find completely demeaning and offensive, and shows the self righteous superior complex you carry, whoever you are.

Superior self righteous coward, spouting off whilst hiding behind the bullies over at UKPR!!!

If the RSPCA decide that for Mylo to leave here is in his best interest then there will be nothing stopping him from leaving, until if and when that happens we will be defending what we believe to be Mylo’s rights and welfare.

Mylo is happy. He has free roam of the house pretty much all day, everyday, he has human interaction most of the time, so let’s see what the RSPCA now decide once they compile a report. In the meantime we will be obtaining our own expert advice on what other people believe is in the best interest of Mylo & JJ, and it will be these peoples thoughts, opinions and views that we will base any decision on.
