Meet us at Parrot Festival 2026
National Parrot Rescuse & Preservation Foundation ("NPRPF") hosts the Parrot Festival every year to provide a venue for any interested person to learn about parrots and share the organization's passion and love for parrots. Parrot owners can learn new information, refresh their understanding and get updated of wild parrot conservation need. This annual conference supports parrots in our care and helps NPRPF support other avian organizations in the US and round the world.
When - January 23-25, 2026
Where - DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston Intercontinental Airport, Houston, Texas, USA
Parrot Festival was the very first parrot event we attended a year after we moved and set up production in the US in 2010. Though had been selling the Pak-o-Bird, the first ever light weight Bird Backpack design, and improving the design for some years, our knowledge was limited to book research and from talking with parrot owners. This was an eye opening experience to meet the "crazy" bird people whose passion, love, knowledge and fascination about parrots is "loud and clear". The beloved parrots present behaved comfortably and excitingly as part of this big flock. Of course, they get tired too at the end of the day. We did not have any birds at the time and were considering adopting one. We were also intrigued by the raffle and auction events for fundraising. We hope our donation this year means something to the organization.

We met Debbie Goodrich, one of the founders and current president of FCF in 2012 when we joined AFA conference for the first time. She greeted us with warmth and helped us setting up for the event. Training to free-flying parrots was just started then.
Amongst all the great speakers at the event, the virtually presentation of "Brief Update on the Spix's Macaw Release Project" by Dr. Cromwell Purchase, PhD from Caatinga, Brazil is a must event for us. The Spix's was extinct in the wild. We learned of the bird when we made a gift human bag with a Spix's Macaw image for one of the speakers at the Phoenix Landing Foundation's Wellness Retreat Program in 2016. The embroidery image was digitized based on a picture of the very last Spix's macaw in Brazil. Can't wait!

From great presentations to bird shows and many fun events, see the Conference Agenda here.
This was the fifth time we joined the conference; the last time was in 2019. When a detailed spreadsheet of all the big macaws information showed up in the email in 2003 asking us to make a carrier. "What is a macaw?" we asked. We came a long way, didn't we?
AFA core members often call themselves "crazy" bird people. Yes they are :-)! They are specialty bird store owners, some breeds birds but all are enthusiasts of parrots and partake in rehomed parrots and conservation. At this conference, A Caique quietly perches on any willing shoulder through out all the presentations. The Cape Parrot, the Black Palm Cockatoo, the Moluccan Cockatoo, the Blue & Gold Macaw, the Galah (Rose Breasted Cockatoo) , the Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot attended all stayed near their family members free and were happy to sing or chat with any willing passerby.
Tom Marshall, the resident of AFA in late 80s, who we attended his talk about Caiques during this conference has recently published a book titled "What Parrots? Why Aviculture?". The book provides a summary view of parrots, related developments and the value of aviculture from his perspective and experiences. We find the book very informative and enjoy the reading very much. We understand AFA will take a more active role in educating the public about responsible parrot ownership and also reach out to rehomed and rescue groups across the country to share their knowledge, bridge any mis-understanding and work together for love of parrots. Please stay tuned.
