One Blue-naped Parrot (๐๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ถ๐ด ๐ญ๐ถ๐ค๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ด) was turned over by Mrs. Pamela Cruz of Purok 2, Brgy. Maasin, Brooke’s Point, Palawan to the PCSDS Wildlife Trafficking Monitoring Unit Sub Office-Brookeโs Point on November 26, 2021.
Mrs. Cruz, a School teacher by profession, narrated that the Blue-naped Parrot, which came from Barangay Canipaan, Rizal, Palawan, was given to her son as a gift by a friend of hers.
After nearly three (3) months of caring for the bird, she was informed that there is an existing Wildlife Law that is being implemented in Palawan. She voluntarily surrendered the tamed bird to the PCSDS WTMO- Brooke’s Point for proper custody after learning about the aforementioned law.
The Blue-naped Parrot is listed as a โCritically Endangered speciesโ under the PCSD Resolution No. 15-521.
The PCSDS urges persons who happen to find or rescue wildlife to turn them over to our office, which can be contacted thru hotline numbers 0935-116-2336 (Globe/TM) and 0948-937-2200 (Smart/TNT). You may also send a message to our Facebook page for your other concerns.
