Hello and Happy Holidays,

I am very excited to share news of a new campaign just launched by the World Parrot Trust to end the wild bird trade in Africa, Asia and South America.

When you donate between now and January 31, 2009 your donation is matched dollar for dollar, thanks to a generous donor.

Learn more about this important appeal at:

Thanks for having a look and supporting the campaign.

Best,

Steve
