PARROTS BEGIN RETURN OUTDOORS! As Highly Contagious Pathenogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) declines as wild bird migration winds down, our parrot animal ambassadors have begun returning to outdoor enclosures in rotation for some fun in the sun and much-missed visitor interaction! Four birds will greet guests daily, 9 am-noon, with a roof above enclosures for protection from wild birds, and extreme heat. We’re hopeful more parrots can be out, if virus numbers remain low. An Animal Care employee will attend birds watching for contamination, meeting “Save the Flock” guidelines. Thanks to Animal Care, Maintenance staffs, volunteers for long hours with parrots indoors since March, 2022!
