Upcoming On-Line Events
Phoenix Landing events are largely held online now. Every month we try to feature a live Zoom event with a special guest speaker. There is always something new to learn and we hope you will join us often! Sometimes the event is recorded and you can find it on our website to view at anytime. We also offer self-paced core classes which address the essential aspects of parrot care such as health, safety, behavior, nutrition, and enrichment. These classes coincide with our adoption process, but they are also available to anyone who is interested in new ideas or continued learning. Details about upcoming events are below.

May 9th - May 16th No Place Like Home Self-Paced Online Core Class 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. This class also satisfies our adoption process requirement if the "homework" activities are completed. |

June 20th, Saturday, 1:00 pm Eastern Welfare Assessment Tool with Andrea Piseddu, PhD Live Zoom Event Are you striving to provide the best quality-of-life possible for the birds in your home? If so, you might be interested in a newly developed Welfare Assessment Tool. As a student at the Centre for Animal Nutrition and Welfare, University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Andrea Piseddu developed a science-based parrot welfare assessment tool, soon-to-be published in the scientific journal, Animal Welfare. His goal is to improve the welfare of companion parrots by helping parrot owners to increase their knowledge and learn how to better monitor their parrot's behaviors and needs. Dr. Piseddu consulted with a wide range of experts from different professional points of view (veterinarians, behaviorists, welfare orgs, zoos, etc). This new tool is a robust and comprehensive view of the ways parrots may live in our homes, the kinds of opportunities we can give them or perhaps even deprive them of, and gives us tips on how to make positive changes for their long-term health and welfare. This tool will soon be readily available to the public and the parrot community! |
