The National Zoo and Aquarium celebrates World Parrot Day

Overview

Calling all bird lovers! The National Zoo and Aquarium will be celebrating World Parrot Day with a special keeper talk at the Education Aviary. Learn about local parrot species and develop an understanding on how your everyday habits affect our backyard neighbours. Engage with the Zoo Keepers and learn all about these highly intelligent birds.

The conservation team will also be reaching out to the community on Sunday with a stall to raise funds for conservation charities.

All the activities are free with admission and memberships.

There's so much fun to be had at the National Zoo and Aquarium, Canberra's 'Centre of Adventure'.
