SIGN THE PETITION: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/5/save-the-parrots-of-troy-ohio/
Owner: Doug Ratcliff – who currently is refusing to allow volunteers to feed and water
10 birds have been rescued and are being cared for at Dayton South Veterinary Clinic but dozens more are remain in wretched conditions at the home, 30 birds have already died.
Initially Ratcliff allowed members of the Miami Valley Bird Club to rescue the 10 birds, and to begin offering food and water to those that remained. However, in an interview with a veterinarian in the article above:
““Now, he has put a stop on everything, and they are no longer allowed to go in and feed, clean or water,” Brauer said.”
Please help save the parrots! Here is contact information for government officials:

I got this reply from Mayor Beamish. Does anyone know where we should be directing our efforts to get these birds out of here?
Thank you for your e-mail. I understand that you are very concerned and passionate about this issue. I need to clarify to you that the news media reports are incorrect. While the location does have a Troy mailing address, this address in not within the City of Troy boundaries and therefore not under the City of Troy ’s or my jurisdiction or control.
If you wish to voice your concerns, please do so through Miami County Humane Society. They can be contacted through their website at http://www.miamicountyhumanesociety.org
Sincerely,
Michael L. Beamish, Mayor
