FAIRFAX, VA: Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services, 4105 Rust Road
SATURDAY, April 27th, 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon * NO PLACE LIKE HOME
When we bring a parrot into our lives, from parakeets to macaws, we are offering them a place to call home. What does home mean? For a parrot it might mean a place to be safe, be healthy, have a sense of family, and be provided positive opportunities to live and thrive. This class will address what each of these means to a bird, and give you some ideas about how to continue providing the good life for your bird. [also satisfies our adoption process requirement]. |
