Our Parrot Friends

Meet Our Parrots

Our colorful parrots are in high demand!  All of our birds are able to fly as we believe that it is better for them physically and psychologically.  As such, interactions are limited for outdoor events depending on the length of event and the temperature.  If parrots are the highlight of your event, we recommend having the event indoors for the best experience for both our friends and your guests.
