Our campaign continues! Join us for our one year anniversary demonstration against Bird Paradise, and our THIRD demonstration against Todd Marcus Birds Exotic! ***
Every year thousands of birds are sold by two of the largest bird stores in the nation: Bird Paradise and Todd Marcus Birds Exotic. Pet store birds are deprived of their natural environment and often imprisoned in cages. Even the most well intentioned person cannot provide for the needs of any bird. Bird Paradise brags about having thousands of birds for sale. On their own Web site, they claim they are the "World's Largest Bird Store". Let's tell them that profiting from the exploitation of birds is not something to be proud of - and let's let Todd Marcus Birds Exotic know that they too are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
*** We love your kids, both human and non-human, but please leave them at home. We demonstrate on the public right-of-way which is adjacent to Route 130, a busy highway. It's safe, but not recommended for the little ones. Thanks for your cooperation!

Signs and leaflets are provided. Parking is available on the side streets next to Bird Paradise. Please do not drive/walk through Bird Paradise's parking lot or grass lot.

If you cannot attend the demonstration but would still like to help birds, please take a minute to send an email to the local papers. Ask them to cover the demo.
