World Parrot Day 2023!

Celebrating World Parrot Day: Supporting Parrot Conservation and Rescues.

Parrots are some of the most fascinating and charismatic birds on our planet. With their vibrant plumage, remarkable intelligence, and ability to mimic human speech, they captivate our hearts and enrich our lives. However, these beautiful creatures face numerous challenges in the wild, including habitat loss, illegal pet trade, and climate change. To raise awareness about the plight of parrots and promote their conservation, World Parrot Day was established. Share with others the significance of World Parrot Day and discuss ways we can support parrot conservation and rescues.

If you're passionate about parrots and want to make a positive impact on their conservation and rescue efforts, there are various organizations and initiatives you can support. The Parrot University has worked with multiple rescues and conservation organizations to raise awareness and funds for parrot wellbeing. Here are a few you can help support today!
