| This is Teresa Shnurr's site where she shares a wealth of knowledge on caring for and enriching the lives of companion parrots. It is here where I discovered the Wacky Whirly Straw Kit and got the idea for using pasta in place of beads strung on toys.

The Phoenix Landing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization. It was established to promote and protect the welfare of parrots, especially those with an extensive lifespan. Phoenix Landing provides for parrots in need and acts as advocates for those without protection.
The members of Phoenix Landing contributed many good ideas to The Parrot Enrichment Activity Book, Version 2. The members share enrichment ideas and tips at their website on their blog, twitter and facebook pages.
