796 white-winged parakeets, 14 Venezuela Amazons and 11 yellow-breasted macaws had to be admitted to the SUST orphanage in Peru in March in one blow. All animals were confiscated and were to be sold on the illegal market. It is obvious that the team from the Esperanza Verde Peru sanctuary reached the limits of their possibilities with so many birds at once. But with a lot of organizational talent it was finally possible to place all the animals in a quarantine station.

Unfortunately, many of the parakeets were already so weakened by the stress that they died in the following days. One day there were even 40 of them at a time. To cope with this great loss took a lot of energy from the team. The lack of understanding for the egosimus of the people turned into anger and grief.

The surviving parakeets can look forward to a beautiful future: They will be released in freedom again after the quarantine period. 
Unfortunately, the Amazons and Macaws can no longer be released into the wild. As very small nestlings they were stolen from their mothers and would not survive in freedom.
