Parrot Awareness Week

The first ever Parrot Awareness Week has been launched this year from 2^nd-8^th July 2023 to promote improving welfare for pet parrots. The week has been spearheaded by The Parrot Society UK in collaboration with UK Pet Food, Petcover Group and a volunteer group of avian veterinary professionals, and will be a fun way of learning more about the health and welfare of pet parrots in the UK.

During Parrot Awareness Week, our aim is to highlight a number of important themes with respect to parrot welfare in captivity, with a new focus each day on subjects such as enrichment, nutrition, preventative health.

The week will culminate with The Parrot Society UK’s annual Pet Parrot Gathering at Stafford County Showground on Saturday 8^th July.
