You've got to see it to believe it!
The Trained Alexandrines have been performing faithfully for 15 years here at Parrots In Paradise, and prior to that we traveled all over for 5 years.
They have happily worked for many bus groups and visitors over the years. In that time we used positive reinforcement, rewarding them with praise and treats after a trick. Our parrots were never punished when they did not perform.
Knowing the birds are having a ball is great fun for the young and old. The bird's ability to solve puzzles and evidence of cognitive thought has to be seen to be believed.
But time has taken it's toll on not only the parrots but also on the humans.
So it was decided to do one final show for a professional vidographer in order to capture all of the show in spite of our losing one of our parrot team to a stroke and another to cataracts.
The Videographer was able to cobble in the missing performers tricks thanks to old videos.
So now when you visit you get the show in it's entirety. Nothing is missed.
We can do nothing about Lena who was taken by the stroke. But Kelele, who has cataracts will, once he is fully blind, will be given an eye operation, because this bird gave faithfully of himself for 20 years, and he will likely live at least the same again, so he deserves to be able to see in that time. So we are saving to get the $4000 for his operation.

We would like to thank you so much for your Donation!
Here at Parrots in Paradise we are proud to say that we care for our parrots with love, understanding and respect.
We care about the health of our parrots. As we are a parrot surrender facility, many of our rescues are abused birds and need access to a vet immediately - we rely on donations, sales from our shop, and sales from our babies bred onsite, to cover these costs.
We make sure our parrots' food is healthy and we supply them daily with sprouted seed, fresh fruit and vegetables: Our motto is: If you won't eat it, don't feed it to our birds. Our parrots also have mixed seed, pellets and nuts daily.
Come and visit us here at Parrots in Paradise and see for yourself where your donation is being put to use!
