She loves to promote parrot care information that helps birds to thrive, and works with other Phoenix Landing volunteers to make good adoption matches. Her passion is nutrition and she wrote the \u201cNourish to Flourish\u201d cookbook. She is a huge fan of the quality products offered by Lafeber. Ann also organizes an annual Phoenix Landing eco-tour to support wild parrot conservation and research. That interest led to this Lafeber series, called \u201cThe Global Parrot.\u201d She hopes others will also support the many dedicated scientists who are working so hard to preserve the parrots species we love and value so much. Ann has lived with birds for over 35 years. Phoenix, her greenwing macaw, is the inspiration behind Phoenix Landing. Most birds need a succession of good homes, through no fault of their own. She realized that Phoenix should outlive her, and wanted to make sure there was a reliable adoption apparatus in place to ensure that Phoenix has a place to \u201cland.\u201d So she retired from her senior federal position to volunteer full-time with Phoenix Landing, which turned 25 years old in April 2025. By 2025, Phoenix Landing had rehomed more than 3,500 birds. Some of these have even required more than one home because people\u2019s lives often change. Adoption is a positive, not a negative, way to acquire a deserving bird. Phoenix Landing believes that parrots need to be protected across their long lives and probable multiple homes. Ann believes that adoption is inevitable and organizations that provide life-long protection for individual birds is essential. Ann is a member of the Association of Avian Veterinarians AAV and an IAABC-certified behavior consultant.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/annb\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Lafeber\u2019s Global Parrot Conservation Spotlight April 2025: The International Psittacine Congress &#8211; Pet Birds by Lafeber Co.","description":"Lafeber spotlights the upcoming Virtual International Psittacine Congress, an accessible, global online event open to all who care about parrot conservation, happening June 12\u201314, 2025.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Lafeber\u2019s Global Parrot Conservation Spotlight April 2025: The International Psittacine Congress &#8211; Pet Birds by Lafeber Co.","og_description":"Lafeber spotlights the upcoming Virtual International Psittacine Congress, an accessible, global online event open to all who care about parrot conservation, happening June 12\u201314, 2025.","og_url":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/","og_site_name":"Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds","article_published_time":"2025-04-29T18:13:43+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-05-13T16:37:59+00:00","og_image":[{"width":800,"height":800,"url":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PC-Logo.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Ann Brooks","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Ann Brooks","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/"},"author":{"name":"Ann Brooks","@id":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/#\/schema\/person\/1fad6c0514917932c67ea6aebe710035"},"headline":"Lafeber\u2019s Global Parrot Conservation Spotlight April 2025: The International Psittacine Congress","datePublished":"2025-04-29T18:13:43+00:00","dateModified":"2025-05-13T16:37:59+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/"},"wordCount":435,"commentCount":1,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/lafebers-global-parrot-conservation-spotlight-april-2025-the-international-psittacine-congress\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/PC-Logo.jpg","articleSection":["Editor Choice","Lafeber Co.

She loves to promote parrot care information that helps birds to thrive, and works with other Phoenix Landing volunteers to make good adoption matches. Her passion is nutrition and she wrote the \u201cNourish to Flourish\u201d cookbook. She is a huge fan of the quality products offered by Lafeber. Ann also organizes an annual Phoenix Landing eco-tour to support wild parrot conservation and research. That interest led to this Lafeber series, called \u201cThe Global Parrot.\u201d She hopes others will also support the many dedicated scientists who are working so hard to preserve the parrots species we love and value so much. Ann has lived with birds for over 35 years. Phoenix, her greenwing macaw, is the inspiration behind Phoenix Landing. Most birds need a succession of good homes, through no fault of their own. She realized that Phoenix should outlive her, and wanted to make sure there was a reliable adoption apparatus in place to ensure that Phoenix has a place to \u201cland.\u201d So she retired from her senior federal position to volunteer full-time with Phoenix Landing, which turned 25 years old in April 2025. By 2025, Phoenix Landing had rehomed more than 3,500 birds. Some of these have even required more than one home because people\u2019s lives often change. Adoption is a positive, not a negative, way to acquire a deserving bird. Phoenix Landing believes that parrots need to be protected across their long lives and probable multiple homes. Ann believes that adoption is inevitable and organizations that provide life-long protection for individual birds is essential. Ann is a member of the Association of Avian Veterinarians AAV and an IAABC-certified behavior consultant.","url":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/annb\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9047"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42832"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42839,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42832\/revisions\/42839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
