Based on our personal experiences, we’ll share why allowing parrots to remain fully flighted is the best and most enriching choice you can make for your feathered companion. We invite you to step into your parrot’s shoes and ask: what truly serves their best interests? Together, let’s take a critical and thoughtful look at the care we provide for these beloved birds, by breaking bygone standards and improving the quality of life for Parrot’s everywhere.
