Unfortunately, Miguel Rocha is no longer able to travel to Australia to present at this year’s convention. We are, however, very pleased to announce that Eric van Kooten, a well renowned parrot breeder from the Netherlands, will be joining our speaker lineup.

Eric brings more than 40 years of avicultural experience, backed by a strong background in biochemistry. He is widely respected for his work in parrot nutrition, with a special focus on the iconic Cape Parrot.

Whether you keep companion parrots, breed birds, or simply want to learn from some of the best minds in aviculture, PARROTS26 offers a fantastic opportunity to expand your knowledge, connect with like-minded people, and immerse yourself in an incredible weekend dedicated to parrots.

Avian Essentials was at the Parrot Society of Australia bird sale today at the Caboolture Showgrounds. We built and supplied the 2 transfer cages for the sale. Here is the very first customer to use them. Just part of our commitment to Australian Aviculture. A great day was had by all.
