The parrots greatly appreciate your generosity this holiday season! We hope everyone has had a wonderful Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and that you have a fantastic New Year's Day! Thank you for being a part of Phoenix Landing!
Our Giving Tuesday match was met - and exceeded - in just one day! $6030 was donated, so with the $5000 donated in matching funds, Phoenix Landing has $11,030 to help cover veterinary care, supplies, enrichment, housing and more for the parrots. The parrots thank you!
Thank you, also, to everyone who donated holiday gifts to the parrots in the adoption program! This really helps to keep the parrots busy, happy, and healthy! We are humbled by your love and generosity for them! |

Some holiday gifts were designated that they should go to any bird who might need them. Carly had the wonderful idea to set up a station at the adoption center and let some of the birds pick out their new toys. She filmed it to share with you! As you may guess, not everyone fully cooperated, but the results were still adorable. Check out the video above to see for yourself! |

Upcoming online classes and events |

No Place Like Home (self-paced, online) |
|
When we bring a parrot into our lives, from parakeets to macaws, we are offering them a place to call home. What does home mean? For a parrot it might mean a place to be safe, be healthy, have a sense of family, and be provided positive opportunities to live and thrive. This class will address what each of these means to a bird, and give you some ideas about how to continue providing the good life for your bird. This class satisfies our adoption process class requirement. In order for applicants to receive credit for the class, all activities must be completed and turned in.
January 8 - 19, 2021

ABCs of Behavior (live and online) |
|
Many times we think we know why a bird has done something, but usually we are just guessing, and often we are wrong. Let's talk about the principles of behavior; how to increase the behaviors we want and decrease the ones we don't; and work through a series of common scenario examples together.
