World Parrot Day is celebrated annually on May 31st to raise awareness about the threats parrots face in the wild and to promote their well-being.
The World Parrot Trust (WPT) started the day in 2004 with a rally in Trafalgar Square, London to highlight the destruction caused by the wild-caught bird trade.
Today, the WPT hosts events for World Parrot Day, including live demonstrations, free-flying shows, and parrot care videos. Other organizations also participate in World Parrot Day celebrations, such as:
- EAZA Parrot TAG: Promotes the day with educational activities in zoos around the world
- Little Rock Zoo: Celebrates World Parrot Day with an event that’s included with admission
Toucan Rescue Ranch: Celebrates World Parrot Day by supporting Proyecto Anillos de Libertad, which helps parrots survive and thrive in their natural habitats
