The Chatham-Kent Parrot Club
The Chatham-Kent Parrot Club is a group of parrot owners who meet each month to discuss our unique pets and learn how to be better parrot owners. We also attend community events and visit schools, daycares and senior centres to educate the general public about the needs of these wonderful creatures. At our meetings we sometimes view educational videos, listen to speakers, have toy-making workshops, take part in lively discussions and come up with ways to earn money for avian causes, both for parrots in our homes and in the wild.
They offer members:
- a lending library of books and videos
- a monthly newsletter with club news and parrot info
- discounts at certain pet stores
- access to avian experts and professionals
- access to those trained to clip your bird’s wings and nails
- raffles full of great stuff – avian and otherwise
- the opportunity to learn from others living with parrots
- a great time with people who, like you, love birds!
Their Club Mandate
- to educate parrot owners about caring properly for their feathered companions.
