Happy World Parrot Day! 🦜

Today we’re celebrating our vibrant and vocal friend, Stevie, our Blue Fronted Parrot 💚💙

Parrots are known for their intelligence, bright personalities, and incredible ability to mimic sounds—but they also play an important role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers!

You can visit Stevie in her habitat right outside the Conservation Discovery Center, where she lives next door to Eliza. Be sure to stop by, say hello, and see what she’s chatting about today!

Have you met Stevie yet? 👇

Calling all butterfly lovers!🦋

Want to help save butterflies right in your own backyard? Join us for a Butterfly Monitoring Training at Binder Park Zoo!

đź“… June 6, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM

We’re teaming up with the Michigan Butterfly Network (a conservation program of the Kalamazoo Nature Center) to teach YOU how to track and monitor local butterfly populations—yes, even in your own neighborhood!

Since 2011, amazing volunteers (just like you!) have been helping collect important data on butterflies across Michigan. These beautiful insects aren’t just pretty—they’re powerful indicators of ecosystem health, and they need our help more than ever.

🌼 What to expect:
• Learn how to identify and monitor butterflies
• Discover how you can contribute to real conservation efforts
• Be part of something meaningful (and fun!)

📍 Training will take place in the Cross Administration Building—just follow the signs from the parking lot!

🎟 This training is FREE (zoo admission not included)

Meet Dexter, our Southern Cassowary and one of the most incredible residents at the zoo! As the third-largest bird species in the world, he definitely turns heads—but don’t let his bold look fool you, he’s a total sweetheart (especially when grapes are involved 🍇).

Stop by to see him and hand-feed him grapes (3 grapes for $5) daily from 10 AM–12 PM… it just might be the highlight of your visit!

Grape feeding is limited, and while supplies last, also subject to Dexter's participation.
