Johannesburg, South Africa

Volunteer Anre Bouguenon

cares for parrots at the Brainy Birds Parrot rescue and rehabilitation centre.

The non-profit animal welfare organisation provides a safe,

loving environment for the recovery,

conservation and life-long care of more than 300 companion parrots.

Parrots who arrive at the centre are often neglected by their owner or abused

and need serious rehabilitation to get them closer to a natural state
