ParrotAlert: An Innovative New Service To Help Find Lost Parrots

If you've ever lost a beloved parrot you know how agonizing the searching and waiting can be. A new site, ParrotAlert.com, has just launched and it uses cutting-edged Web-based mapping technology and crowdsourcing to help people report and find their lost parrots. You don't have to own or have lost a parrot to become a member (which is free). But the more members there are, the greater the likelihood that a lost bird will be spotted, geo-located, recovered, and will make its way back to its original owner.

So far ParrotAlert.com has has 882 registered "eyes and ears" in the U.S. and the more people join, the more effective it becomes. So if you care about the plight of lost parrots and the humans who grieve over them, please hop over to ParrotAlert.com and register as a lost parrot spotter!
