We will cover: * The Avian Difference: Why parrot physiology may require a unique approach to some natural remedies.
* Botanicals & Herbs: How to safely introduce fresh or dried herbs, flowers, and target supplements to support feather health, digestion, and immune functions.

Nov 14th: Education Day: The Power of Good Information
| | Panama Ecotour, Jan 24 - Feb 7, 2027 | | | | We are off to see wild parrots and wildlife in our first ecotour to Panama. Even though it is a small country, Panama is home to over 1,000 species of birds. This 14 night/15 day tour will go from seeing the Panama Canal, an industrial marvel, to tenting in a national park. Are you up for an adventure and want to appreciate a parrot's true nature and life in the wild? More information here. | | Some of Our Adoptable Birds | | These are just a few of our birds currently in foster. We also have 80+ waiting for our help almost always, but those are not featured by us until they have entered our system and are in a Phoenix Landing home. If you are looking to adopt (not shop!), we probably have some good options. We will work with you to make a good match, especially for the bird!

Their goal is to provide entertainment and enrichment to birds across numerous organizations that are looking for their next homes. They do this through donations of all-star toy boxes. You can help by picking your organization of choice here! | | AvianEnrichment and ParrotFunZone Sites | | In gratitude to Deb White, former owner of Super Bird Toys, we have been entrusted with the incredible websites and Facebook pages she created ~ avianenrichment.com and parrotfunzone.com. We want these to become community organized resources, a place where individuals and welfare organizations can post their good ideas, ask questions, or have a robust discussion about enrichment. We invite you to help us co-create this community and mold these into collaborative digital resources. Please contact Melissa if you would like to be a part of brainstorming enrichment ideas, activities, foraging contests, digital management, etc! | | Ways to Help and Wish Lists | |
