Celebrating 20 years of 

Parrot Festival

January 25-27, 2019

Join us again, this year, for a very special Parrot Festival as we celebrate our 20th year!  Parrot Festival is an annual gathering of parrot enthusiasts for education and celebration.  It is the major Education Conference and Fund-raiser for the organization and the proceeds sustain us through out the year in our educational and parrot rehoming endeavors.  Each year we strive to bring you the best and most interesting speakers and programs all while providing a fun, warm, and exciting experience.

Parrot 101 - A class for beginning parrot owners and those that are thinking of getting a parrot.  This class is open to the public for a fee and is free to conference attendees.

Mega Raffle Extravaganza - A fun way to win prizes and raise money for NPRPF at the Friday evening Party in Parrot-dise. Anyone can attend the Party in Parrot-dise, but only holders of Mega Raffle Tickets can participate in the drawings. This is a reverse raffle where people are eliminated as their number is called.  A limited number of 200 tickets are available.  You can purchase them when you register.  If the tickets are sold out you will have an opportunity to buy one of the remaining tickets at the end of the Raffle from the ticket holders.

Art an Wine with Tina Marie K - The exceptionally talented Tina Marie K. will hold a special session where she will teach you how to make sun catchers.  Everyone will leave with their own parrot sun catcher.

Vendor Hall- The Vendor Hall at Parrot Festival is always a great place to find unusual toys and hard to find items from specialty bird retailers and companies from all over the United States. The Vendor Hall is open to the public for a small fee and free to conference attendees.

When you stay at the Doubletree during the conference you help NPRPF and our mission!  The more people stay at the hotel, the lower our fees and thus more of the money you spend goes directly to our rescue and education efforts.
