roundup of 167 wild horses from the West Douglas Herd Area in Colorado. At Primarily Primates, she joins recently adopted wild horses–filly Bindi and colt Comanche—who last year were stolen from their home on the range in Nevada.

“before monkeys.” They are native only to the island of Madagascar and the neighboring Comoro Islands. Primarily Primates is home to 43 lemurs, some of whom were rescued from the illegal pet trade.

selling of parrots and/or prohibited the trade altogether. Despite the restrictions, however, the market still operates both legally and illegally. Many of our parrots have come to the sanctuary because their previous owners did not want to keep them as pets any longer. The most important components of most parrots’ diets are seeds, nuts, fruit, buds and other plant material. The parrots at the sanctuary also participate in enrichment activities and enjoy the handmade birdfeeders our volunteers provide them with!
