Do something special for the parrot in your life! Spend the day with us learning about behavior, training, medical problems and diagnoses, enrichment, and nutrition. Join anytime throughout the day for some or all of your favorite topics and teachers. We are charging $25 for six informative sessions. You are welcome to donate more! These funds will be equally shared between the three welfare organizations. A bargain for you, and valuable support for us and the parrots we help.
This event will not be recorded for future viewing.
Co-Sponsored by three adoption and education organizations: Companion Parrots Re-homed, the Rhode Island Parrot Rescue, and The Phoenix Landing Foundation.
