Dawn Plummer, a British citizen, has been working in Nigeria and wants to return with Elmo, an African Grey Parrot, to Scotland, but the Nigerian Authorities won't let her bring Elmo out of the country. Dawn purchased him there almost 5 years ago.
We are trying to convince the Nigerian authorities that Elmo is a pet and she is not an importing a wild parrot.
Elmo is now domesticated and if released into a jungle or wildlife environment in Nigeria, he will not survive and surely die.
Please sign our Petition in hope that Dawn and Elmo can both return to the United Kingdom on 21st May 2011, the day Dawn is supposed to leave Nigeria.
Seeing 500 signatures on this page completely humbles me because I simply never imagined so many people would care about Elmo. This momentum belongs entirely to the kindness of those who decided to help a little parrot return home.
