   The parrot could have just been set fee to fly away.

   Surely birds land on the island from other lands.

   Aww. That warms the cockles of my heart, though still ruffles my feathers as to how easily pets can be “destroyed.”

   I like pets and all, but I sure would have liked to read a little more about how the people got themselves into so much trouble.

   Why could they not have shipped the animals home, or afford to find other transportation off the island?

   I don’t think Norwegian Cruise Lines “sent” a ship to pick the dog up; Fanning Island is a regular stopover for them. A friend of mine in Hawaii has made two or three trips to Fanning Island on humanitarian missions, traveling via the Norwegian cruise ship; they make a stop at Fanning Island (also known as Tabuaeran) every two or three weeks.

   As to why the pets couldn’t be shipped home, Fanning Island is remote to the extreme (GoogleMapsLink); no working airfield, and the only regular boat traffic is the cruise line. Any other ship traffic is by chance or chartered, at enormous cost.

   Shame no one seems to care about the poor Macaw.

   Nevermind my earlier comment about noone helping the bird - this is why one should never comment before reading the source material!

   This from the LA Times story:

   But an elaborate plan is hatching to move the macaw to Christmas Island and eventually to Los Angeles, one of two U.S. ports that will accept exotic birds.

   “We have an amazing network of bird lovers that came in to get involved in this,” bird enthusiast Peter Foreman said. “So, by golly, if they can do it for Snickers, they can do it for Gulliver.”
