In Nashville, Tennessee, a significant animal hoarding case has come to light involving 40 parrots rescued from poor living conditions in Henderson County, Kentucky. The local animal control had previously warned the owner to improve the care of the birds, but upon revisiting, they found the situation had worsened, leading to the seizure of the remaining parrots. The Exotic Avian Sanctuary of Tennessee stepped in to provide care for these birds, which were found in an environment infested with pests. The sanctuary is now home to a total of 120 birds, including the newly rescued parrots. The Executive Director, Kim Hannah, emphasized the importance of responsible pet ownership and the need for individuals to seek help if they find themselves overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caring for animals. The sanctuary is currently working to rehabilitate the birds and hopes to find them loving homes soon, while also appealing to the community for donations to support their care.
