A promising career in wildlife photography, hampered only by the wildlife.

Meet Yvonne, one of our fabulous team members who works both as a volunteer and a member of staff. She’s also the talented photographer responsible for so many of our stunning parrot photographs that are in our calendars, on our mugs and also in our social media. With endless patience, a brilliant eye and a genuine love for our birds, she captures their personalities beautifully. Unfortunately, her feathered subjects have absolutely no respect for artistic direction or personal space! 😂📸🦜

NOVEMBER

It doesn't seem five minutes ago since we were melting in the summer heat, but November has bounced into our lives bringing cool, misty mornings and October's colourful leaves now lining our gardens and pathways.

This month our Morndyke calendar features our marvellous macaws! We have 25 macaws of 7 species in our aviary from the smallest, the Hahn's Macaw to the second largest, the Green Winged Macaw (in fact we have the sweetest bonded pair comprising of these two species!).

So what's occurring this month? Here's a selection of special days this November...

-3rd Nov- World Jellyfish Day. It's also World Sandwich Day!

-6th Nov- World Numbat Day. A day to celebrate this unique and endangered Australian marsupial.

-15th Nov- Steve Irwin Day.

-19th Nov- International Men's Day. Also Use Less Stuff Day!

21st Nov- World Hello Day.

This is Alice Munroe, she is a wild Kakariki. She is living her wild life. In the wild she would be doing exactly this. She was bred for the pet trade, but is no more a pet than the sparrows in the trees. Think about this when you look at the ones in cages on their own.

🎄🥂 COME AND JOIN US! WE’D LOVE TO SEE SOME NEW FACES! ❤️🦜

Every year we hold our Morndyke Charity Christmas Dinner, and it’s always a wonderful evening of good food, great company, laughter, games, prizes and the occasional bit of organised chaos! 😂

This year, we’re hoping to welcome some new faces alongside our lovely regular supporters.

Perhaps you’ve visited the sanctuary, follow our parrots on Facebook, supported us in the past, or simply enjoy seeing what we get up to.

If so, this invitation is for YOU! ❤️

Please don’t think our Christmas Dinner is just for trustees, volunteers or people who already know us. It absolutely isn’t!

We’re a friendly, slightly eccentric bunch, and we’d genuinely love you to join us. Come with friends, bring your partner, or come on your own. You’ll be made very welcome.

✨ This year we’ve moved to the lovely Ripon Inn, where we’ll be enjoying a choice of delicious three-course meals.

🥂 It’s also a wonderful excuse to get dressed up! Smart or super smart — entirely your choice.

🎁 There’ll be games, stalls, prizes, plenty of laughter and, unfortunately, you’ll also have to endure one of my speeches. But you can’t have everything! 😂

I know that times are financially difficult for many people, and I completely understand that another evening out isn’t possible for everyone.

But if you’ve been thinking about coming, please do!

It’s not a stuffy charity function. It’s a lovely Christmas night out with people who share a common affection for some rather extraordinary birds.

And every person who joins us helps support the work we do at Morndyke, providing lifelong care, freedom and the very best quality of life we can for the parrots who depend on us.

🎄 SATURDAY 5TH DECEMBER 2026
📍 The Ripon Inn, Ripon
🥂 6.30pm for 7.00pm
🍽️ Choice of three-course Christmas dinner
💷 £45 per person
❤️ Just £10 deposit to secure your place

The photographs are from our previous Christmas Dinners, giving you a little glimpse of what we get up to!

So, come and join our Morndyke family for the evening. We’
