Parrots

Our guests from SoCAl Parrot gave an interesting and informative presentation on the parrot species that have made southern California their home.   SoCal Parrot organization is the only nonprofit organization in Southern California that rescues and rehabilitates injured and orphaned naturalized wild parrots for release back into their urban environment. 

We were also educated on the their diet, native homes, decreasing numbers, and the species that have been introduced into the US mostly as a result of illegal poaching.  They brought an Ambassador, “Baby”, a Red-headed Amazon parrot for our members to have the opportunity for close up viewing and holding.
