N.S. man hikes with parrots he rescues from families: “Who would they have?”

A Nova Scotia man with a fondness for feathers is turning heads on walking and hiking trails across the province. His mission in life is to give rescue birds a loving home.
Alex Hanes' fondness for feathers was fostered as a boy by his mother, which is why he rescues birds from families who can no longer care for them - some outliving their owners.
"They need somebody and I am their somebody. If they did not have me, who would they have?" Hanes asks.
Global’s Shelley Steeves has more of the touching story.

I met an african gray in a pet store when I was a kid. It whistled to me and pointed to the gate on his cage and I was sold. We clicked lol. My parents had to stop me I was taking him home. He wanted out and I was contracted for that purpose lol

Don’t forget the sunscreen. Nose burns are the worst.
