<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>You don&#8217;t need to be interested in birds to come to this event and find it interesting.  It&#8217;s about cooking and eating, to help the parrots!</em></strong></span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">THERE WILL BE NO LIVE BIRDS AT THIS EVENT</span> </h2>
