January 10th, Saturday, 5:00pm ET (Note Unique Time)
Male Hypersexual Behavior and Female Ovarian Hyperactivity
with Dr. Rob Marshall and Tailai Obrien
| | | | Dr. Marshall and Tailai Obrien are joining us live again from Australia to talk about reproductive disorders that are common in companion birds across many parrot species, as well as chickens. These problems are frequently implicated as the cause of a wide range of complaints. Our guests will explain their experience with origins, diagnoses, treatments, consequences, and prevention strategies for these challenges. | | 2026 Wellness Retreat, May 30-31, Asheville | | Our 8th biennial Wellness Retreat! This is an in-person event in Asheville at the University of NC. Sure, we learn many important things to help our birds have better lives, but we also have a lot of fun! Our speakers and attendees come from all parts of the parrot community, so it is a fantastic opportunity to share our ideas, experiences, knowledge, and common appreciation for our treasured birds. With 4 simultaneous tracks, there is always something for everyone! Our goal is to get our audiences more involved and interactive this time too! Early bird registration until March 31st.

Open House at The Landing
Join us for our next open house where you can meet adoptable birds, learn more about what we do, help make some toys for our birds, or shop in our store. If you live in the Asheville area, join us between 1:00-4:00pm! The address is: 31 Landing Place, Alexander, NC 28701.
| | Become a member and support the many parrots of Phoenix Landing. We re-home hundreds of birds every year, host robust educational events, and support conservation. Each level has its own benefits. All levels include a 2026 calendar and tax deductible donation. Some levels also include our 2026 membership shirt. Calendar also available separately. | | Some of Our Adoptable Birds | | Parrots rarely have "forever homes" as other animals like dogs and cats might have. Adoption is a positive way to make sure birds always have a good place to land over their hopefully long lives. Consider adoption first! To learn more about our adoption process, click here | | |
