Amy Hopkins is president of The Parrot Club<\/a>, Connecticut\u2019s oldest companion bird club. She has the good fortune to be companion to four wonderful birds, three cockatiels and a galah, not to mention an elderly turtle. She is also an avid bird-watcher, both locally and around the world. Amy is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and has worked with both songbirds and raptors.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Amy has had parrot companions since childhood and has always been fascinated by these incredibly beautiful, intelligent, and loving creatures. Her passions are educating fellow bird companions and the public at large about proper care of captive birds and also about conservation issues in general, especially regarding wild parrots and other birds. She has written and lectured widely about bird issues over the years, including at national conferences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Amy has also traveled around the world extensively and seen many of the world\u2019s parrot species. Most recently she spent a month in Australia watching parrots, including wild cockatiels and galahs. It was a highlight of her life. She believes strongly that understanding wild parrot behavior is key to providing the best possible lives for the feathered companions in our homes and hearts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
