Golden Triangle Parrot Club

Club meeting Wednesday!

Do you have any extra bird cages or toys that your birds simply don’t like? Bring any avian related items to June’s club meeting that you wish to sell. Individuals are also welcome to bring arts and crafts that you think parrot enthusiats would like to buy as well.

Macaw Projects in MexicoJennifer and Haley Weber will give a talk on the Military Macaw Rehabilitation Program which Jennifer visited this winter in Puerto Vallarta. It represents the work of Carlos Bonilla, a Mexican biologist, and Claudia Magallon, a Mexican veterinarian, who are fighting to save the military macaws. They are Mexico’s only native macaw species and they are 70 percent extinct. Slide presentation, DVD and “Adopt A Nest Program” will be discussed. Check out Carlos Bonilla’s blog on PI Press.

There are a pair of lovebirds looking for a good home. Contact me if you are interested.

Check out our events pages for other details.

Fun and laughter was had by all who attened our Festival of Parrots this year! The birds showed off their beautiful feathering and wonderful talents while their owners demonstrated what you need to do to make your feathered friends dance and sing! We will now be looking at adding a new contest category to next year’s event – where the owner’s antics will be judged as well!

I would like to thank everyone for joining us, helping with set up and clean up and give a special thanks for our friends who helped out out as judges at the event. Lilla, Marie and Al learned a lot about parrots and more about parrot owners than they ever imagined!!
