The docile accommodating nature of the Bourke’s parakeet makes them an ideal first bird for the novice or beginner. In preference to any other parrot, they are also an ideal choice for aviaries and won’t upset the neighbours with their melodic tones.

Kakapo are avid walkers, wandering on strong legs for miles at a time and hiking up mountains to find mates. But the world’s heaviest parrot is ground dwelling, which puts it at risk from introduced predators. But, conservationists are now embarking on a project to return the Kakapo back to one of New Zealand’s main islands into a purpose built predator free reserve.

Merry Christmas from everyone at Northern Parrots.

Eb Cravens has long counselled prospective psittacine buyers to not become overly attached to the kind of parrot pet they decide to buy. Do your homework, but remain unbiased he says. Some things are just meant to unfold naturally, and love comes in all shapes and sizes. With no preconceptions, it is important to achieve the perfect fit, not the perfect bird.

In 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, Wolfgang Kiessling, the president and founder of Loro Parque, knew there could be more to help rare species facing extinction, so following a meeting with Dr Obdulio Menghi, then the Scientific Coordinator of CITES, and Juan Villalba, the Director of TRAFFIC (Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network) South America at the time, he established the Loro Parque Fundación (LPF) in 1994.

It is a growing problem to keep youngsters interested in our natural world rather than attached to their smartphones, but Mauricio and Veronica, who are teachers, have created a life size full body suit of a parrot called "Pirucha tu amiga la Lora". Pirucha now works to educate children to love parrots and in particular, the Patagonian Conure in Argentina. Read what Rosemary Low has to say?

With hurricanes, Helene and Milton, making landfall in Florida recently, we are reminded of the importance of having an evacuation plan in place for our feathered family members. In the UK, we are perhaps a little complacent in the knowledge that we are unlikely to experience a hurricane, tornado or other extreme weather event such as those we frequently see in other parts of the world. However, with changing weather patterns, flooding, fires and other potentially threatening disasters, it is a good idea to have in place an evacuation plan.
