November is here already! Here's our monthly newsletter: https://conta.cc/4yTeuFu Education Day is back this year, it is a live-only all day event on November 14th with some special guest speakers. Join us for some or all, as your time that day allows. And as always, many birds are looking for the next home, and we want those to be good ones. There is always something new to learn, and we have many adoptable birds looking for families who do their best to offer knowledgeable care. Let us know if that might be you!

This Saturday at 1pm eastern we will be talking with Angela Lennox, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) about preparing for Illness and emergencies. Register here: https://phoenixlanding.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uYJaf508ToSEG7DlaXTGzA #/registration
At some point our birds are probably going to get sick, right? There are many things we can do to maintain health and help prevent illness, especially diet and exercise. But how do we know when a bird is sick and what do we do?
Sometimes an illness is discovered during a wellness visit with our avian veterinarian. Other times our birds suddenly seem off or experience a trauma. What kinds of things should we have on hand as part of a first-aid kit? Is CPR something we can do at home? How and when is CPR done in a veterinary hospital? When our birds face a health challenge, let’s talk about what we can do from home, and what requires critical care from an exotic veterinarian.
Dr. Lennox owns the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic of Indianapolis. In 2025, she formed Re-Wilding Indiana, a non-profit wildlife hospital and rehabilitation center.

What does it mean to be a geriatric bird? A bird in its 60's might still be in good health, while one in their teens might already be considered old. Sure, genes and species matter, but so does their care. Our birds are living longer which is great; but it also means we need to make sure our attention to their needs is age and health appropriate.

Join us Saturday, 1pm ET, to talk with Brooke Noah, DVM about age-related changes, common diseases of older psittacines in captivity, and some practical strategies for optimizing their quality of life.

Our September newsletter Email link https://conta.cc/3RCWfof is chocked full of information about our upcoming educational events through the end of 2026. There is always something new to learn!

And as always, we have lots of parrots looking for their next home, including many still waiting for our help (so they are not featured until we can find a foster or prospective adopting home for them).

Please consider adoption first!
