Think Parrots is an event previously organised by Parrot Magazine for all keepers of Parrots.
Following the hiatus caused by Covid-19, Think Parrots re-appeared at Sandown Park Racecourse in 2024, organised by Northern Parrots, and The Parrot Society had a stand there, in association with Parrot Awareness Week. The event continued again this year, on Sunday 8th June, and once again PSUK and PAW were represented. For other links, go to -

The PSUK again had a stand at the 2019 event on Sunday 9th June. The show seemed busier than ever, and there were three excellent speakers in the Masterclasses upstairs.

David Woolcock's presentation on the Kiwa project was highly disturbing and emotional, but at the same time uplifting and optimistic. For full details see Kiwa Project
Events in 2020, 2021 and 2022 were cancelled owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
