ABOUT

Improving Parrot Care

Improving parrot care is essential for these intelligent birds’ well-being, whether they are in private homes, sanctuaries, at rehabilitation centres or elsewhere. Parrots have complex physical and behavioural needs, requiring a variety-rich diet, room to exercise and plenty of mental stimulation to prevent boredom and stress-related behaviours. Informed care ensures that captive birds lead healthy lives and can exhibit natural behaviours, which is critical for their overall well-being. By deploying a wide range of actions, the World Parrot Trust can better the lives of parrots worldwide by focusing on the following:

Educating Caregivers
Educating Caregivers
Using various media channels to broadcast information globally about proper parrot care, health, basic first aid and enrichment. This includes using both traditional print media and digital platforms to reach a wide audience.
Improving Welfare Laws

Supporting Rescue Centres
