World Parrot Day


 

World Parrot Day is celebrated on 31 May every year to raise awareness about parrots and their conservation. The World Parrot Trust (WPT) established this day in 2004. It is dedicated to the preservation of parrot species worldwide. World Parrot Day is celebrated to raise awareness about the threats that parrots face in the wild, and the steps that can be taken to mitigate these challenges. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the parrot habitat and ecosystem. The day also encourages the public to take action to conserve these endangered creatures.

Parrots are tropical birds that are known for their vibrant plumage, distinctive loud voices, and remarkable intelligence. They have strong curved bills, upright stances, powerful legs, and unique zygodactyl feet. Due to these striking features, parrots are highly sought-after by collectors and pet owners worldwide. World Parrot Day presents an important opportunity to educate the public about the unique traits and habitats of parrots.
