Every morning at Bird Kingdom begins with a chorus.
Before the doors open, before the first footsteps echo across the pathways, the parrots are already awake, stretching their wings, chattering to their neighbours, and ready to greet the day.
There’s one parrot who always starts the story. who perches on the highest branch, watching the keepers walk in. He tilts his head, as if deciding whether today is a day for mischief or charm. (It’s usually both.)
Visitors see the beauty of the feathers, the personalities, the playful squawks, but behind every parrot here is a journey.
Some were surrendered pets.
Some were rescued.
Some came from places where their future was uncertain.
Here, they find safety, enrichment, and a flock that finally feels like home.
But the story of parrots stretches far beyond our aviary.
In the wild, 1 in 3 parrot species is threatened with extinction more than almost any other bird group. Habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, and climate change are rewriting their future faster than they can adapt. And yet, parrots remain endlessly curious, endlessly hopeful, endlessly themselves.
That’s why World Parrot Day matters.
It’s a reminder that every voice, human or feathered, can make a difference.
How You Can Help Parrots Everywhere
Support ethical sanctuaries, places that rescue, rehabilitate, and protect parrots who cannot return to the wild.
Choose responsible pet ownership. Parrots live 40–80 years and need specialized care, enrichment, and social interaction.
Avoid products made from wild birds' feathers, trinkets, or souvenirs that encourage illegal trade.
Protect forests and ecosystems, as parrots depend on old trees for nesting and food.
Sharing their stories is one of the strongest tools we have.
Walk through Bird Kingdom today and you’ll hear their stories in every flutter and every call.
And if you listen closely, you might even hear one say hello or repeat your laugh back to you.
Happy World Parrot Day from our flock to yours.
