Caring only matters when you care about the truth. ALL pets are meant to be free. Birds are no different because they can fly.
In good homes, parrots don't content with lice, malnourishment, predators and disease. Many species are threatened natively by deforestation and inbreeding. Domestic bloodlines promise a future.
Pet parrots are monogamous animals, who are thrilled spend their lives with one person -- unlike cats, for example, who are often tolerated as they howl and scheme to escape.
You cannot "set them free" here. They aren't adapted to the cold. Setting them "free" is like leaving the family puppy in the Tundra. It isn't all sunshine for farmers, either. Quaker parrots are euthanized for enduring the cold long enough to eat crops.
Adoption is the way. It's true. People buy and sell parrots ignorantly, and they need homes. My birds eat with us, take showers, cuddle, play freely and tease, and we are a fun family. Their lives would not be improved if we were apart.
