RE: rio birds!!!!!raising in the wild
Not to mention it is probably illegal. Most states prohibit this. It can introduce diseases that are uncommon to the local birds and wreak havoc. (kinda like what happenned when the white man came to this country, and other countries and introduced new diseases to the people. It has wiped out whole villages...
A better solution may be to try and get involved with the local wildlife folks as a volunteer and see if you can't work some on a program in your area.
