CARE has a couple of events coming up in the near future, so mark your calendars!
  • AWARE pet expo on Saturday, Feb. 2. Lori will be speaking -- probably at 11; but that's always subject to change. This is a great event if you're thinking about adding any new pet to your household. Many exhibitors will be on hand, with organizations showcasing animals up for adoption. CARE will have bird toys and food for sale. See their website for more information!
  • Bird Fest at Wehr Nature Center also on Saturday, Feb. 2. The Wehr Nature Center is a fantastic county park and puts on many educational events throughout the year. There will be plenty of things to do, especially for kids!
  • Oshkosh Pet Expo on March 15 & 16. More information to follow!

In doing these events, CARE hopes to spread an educational message about companion parrots. We want to let people know about the pros and cons about adding a bird to their household so that people can make an informed decision about whether this is something that they want to do. Also, we want to let people know about the birds that we have up for adoption, looking for their second (or more!) chance for a loving family.
