I consider myself to be <\/span>somewhat influential in the avian niche<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Professionally I subscribe to a handful of YouTube channels with other avian influencers producing a huge amount of video content for channels with massive numbers of subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The apparent criteria for being a YouTube avian influencer is to “have birds”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Granted there are well-known animal behaviorists out there like Barbara Heidenreich and Lara Joseph <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are Websites devoted strictly to captive bird care like the Hagen Avicultural Research Institute <\/span>https:\/\/hari.ca\/<\/span><\/a> \u00a0and National Aviary <\/span>https:\/\/www.aviary.org<\/span><\/a>..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then there is that 900 pound gorilla called Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have learned to trust Facebook less daily<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basically we have access to unlimited information about the proper care of the birds in our homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet if I Google the term “bird rescue Illinois” <\/span>this is the page I see with at least eight pet bird rescues on page 1 of Google. <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parrot rescues across the country are overflowing with unwanted birds.<\/span><\/p>\n
