🦜🌿 Thank you to everyone who joined Wild Parrot Diets!

Our mini symposium was a success, with around 120 participants joining us to learn about wild parrot diets, foraging ecology, nutrition, enrichment, hand-feeding, and better care for parrots under human care.

We are deeply grateful to our speakers for sharing their knowledge and experience, and to everyone who participated, asked questions, and helped make this event so meaningful.

A very special thank you to Harrison's Bird Foods for sponsoring this event and supporting science-based education for the parrot community.

Thank you for helping us bring wild parrot science to a wider audience. 🦜🌿
