No registration or fees for our monthly classes are required, unless otherwise specified, so please join us often! Of course we appreciate donations to help cover our facility and speaker costs, and sometimes we will even suggest one. However, we want everyone to come regardless of money. Please take the time to learn something new for your parrot.

MONTHLY EVENTS in VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, NORTH CAROLINA and FLORIDA

FAIRFAX, VA: Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services, 4105 Rust Road
SATURDAY, February 23rd, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM * A PARROT'S POINT OF VIEW
Parrots are built to fly, forage, and flock together, and in the wild they must be continually on alert for predators. These physical and social attributes still govern how a parrot adapts to their lives in our homes. Do you consider your parrot’s perspective in your daily routines and interactions? Perhaps sometimes you just don’t understand each other because you see things differently? Let’s talk about life from a “Parrot’s Point of View.” [also satisfies our adoption process requirement] |

No matter what species of parrot you have or love, it's highly likely that the World Parrot Trust is involved in helping their wild counterparts in some way. The Trust works all over the world in a wide variety of ways - ending wildlife trade; applied conservation (includes research & monitoring); education & outreach; habitat restoration and protection; as well as welfare of companion parrots. We hope you'll join us and meet Lauren, the new U.S. Administrator. We are also planning an auction to support the laudable works of the Trust. Don't miss this event, please! |

CARY, NC: AniMall Cary Towne Center Mall 1105 Walnut St Suite H8808
SATURDAY, March 23rd, 10:30 PM - 12:30 PM * 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]. |
