At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The day is celebrated in many countries with the aim of protecting parrots and creating awareness of threats to them as well.
The day of celebration targets enthusiasts and people to save parrots from being endangered.
This day was started on May 31, 2004, highlighting the threats parrots face in the wild.
World Parrot Day was founded by the World Parrot Trust and adopted by many organizations to be held annually on May 31.
Now that we have learned the day, let's learn more about its history.
Did you know 1 in 4 parrot species are threatened due to illegal trade and habitat loss? May 31 is observed to pledge to raise awareness about the parrots and commit to their well-being in companion care.
WPT conducts various contests and publishes awareness signs, especially for this day. You can participate in the events, donate to the cause, and win contests. The day also encourages a visit to local zoo or zoos worldwide, learning more about different kinds of parrots, and participating in various events, like parrot exhibitions and awareness programs.
You can spend this day teaching about the parrot species and discouraging friends and family members from petting wild birds. Instead, make them aware of companion parrots like Amazon parrots, macaws, cockatoos, and parakeets; some can imitate human speech.
World Parrot Day, celebrated every year on May 31, is adopted nationally in many countries.
Squawkzilla, discovered by paleontologists from Australia and New Zealand, is the biggest parrot in history.
It's the day to celebrate the attractive birds and be aware of the threats faced by them, such as habitat loss, climate changes, and wildlife trade.
Parrots derive conclusions about where to find food with or without the presence of clues, an ability previously only seen in humans and other apes. So, saving them is important indeed.
Question: What are some events similar to World Parrot Day?
Answer: International Birds Day and World Migratory Bird Day are similar to Parrot Day.
The day spreads awareness of threats faced by parrots and wild birds. So, initiating an awareness for one kind can enhance help for almost all kinds of birds worldwide.
