Birds: All the news fit to squawk about!
The AWC News Center The AWC News Center is designed to help bird advocates stay informed about significant campaigns and developments impacting birds in captivity and in the wild and to keep abreast of the AWC and its’ participating organizations in the media. We have selected from a variety of bird news resources, blogs, and video clips to articles, newsworthy research, and thought-provoking opinions on avian topics that are making headlines around the globe.

Lucky continues to make its mark on children’s educational literature in the U.S. We are most encouraged, however, by the growing interest from organizations outside the U.S. to use Lucky in educational programs for children who live in Indonesia, Mexico, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America—countries where birds are routinely trapped for the pet trade. Translations for Lucky in Thailand and Vietnam as well as a planned edition in Portuguese for school program in Brazil are in the works. In addition, 53 Lucky books were sent to the Zambian Ornithological Society in Zambia to be used in 53 Zambian schools to teach children that birds belong in the wild! Where’s Lucky heading next?
