I have been following the Journal of Military Medicine and almost every issue touches on the Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSS). The current war in Iraq has resulted in large numbers of soldiers with this problem, and has increased interest of the medical professionals. Today on the radio I heard of a parrot sanctuary that is used as a treatment center for vets. The place is called Serenity Park, and it houses abused parrots. The veterans take care of the facility and interact with the parrots. This interesting approach seems to have positive results.
