PARROTS IN THE RAINFOREST

The Pittsburgh affiliate of PEAC will be at Phipps Conservatory on Saturday May 5, 2012, from 1:30 to 2:30 PM.  This is a great way to  do something different for Cinco De Mayo.  There are many kinds of parrots in Mexico and there will be some here, in Pittsburgh, as well as representatives of PEAC, who can let you find out about parrot keeping classes and adoption and fostering opportunities.

There is no additional cost, beyond normal admission to Phipps Conservatory, for this informal event.  If you are a member of Phipps Conservatory, this would be absolutely free. 

You can find out about the benefits of joining the Pittsburgh affiliate of Parrot Education & Adoption Center, as well.  One of the benefits of this membership is either free or discounted admission to a variety of classes and other events about parrots and bird keeping, throughout the year.

 Parrot Education & Adoption Center was established in 1996 and has affiliates in several states in the US.  It purpose is to promote education on topics related to the keeping of parrots and to re-home parrots that have lost their homes into appropriate new homes, where they will receive proper care.  The Pittsburgh affiliate of PEAC is approved by the IRS as a not-for-profit, public charity, under section 501(c)3 of the tax code.  It is staffed entirely by volunteers.  Donations to PEAC in monetary or material form, or as service performed, as well as expenses incurred in the conducting of PEAC activities, including vehicle mileage, may be tax deductible, depending on the specific circumstances.
