Would you like to submit parrot stories? This is where you can add your parrot's story and picture and help others learn about the species you live with.
Just like Bird Talk, you can put up your bird information and picture and then others can write comments and vote! You will be notified when your story is posted. I try to approve them within 24 hours.
What better way to keep birds from being re-homed just because someone didn't know what they were getting themselves into?
Help parrots and help future owners learn what it is like to live with your species of parrot.
I put contributions on the page for the species of bird submitted and also a link will be on the Parrot Stories page.
