Home of the Infamous Snowball®

My name is Snowball® and I am a Medium Sulphur-Crested Eleanora Cockatoo. I LOVE to dance! Some of us are talented enough to whistle a tune, talk, swing upside down and around, and dance. Some of us are smart enough to count and even train our owners to do what we want them to do. And they think they're training us. Shhh. Let's keep it secret, guys!

Education

Bird Lovers Only offers educational programs for not for profit organizations such as schools, churches, and nursing homes. Our presentation typically lasts one hour followed by 30 to 60 minutes of questions and discussion. Each educational visit is accompanied by Snowball®, and offers a great way for kids and adults to learn more about parrots as pets.

Community spirit comes in many forms, from those who dedicate their time to caring for rescued parrots to fans who unite across borders for a shared love of sport. Just as our volunteers bring energy and joy to every outreach event, global tournaments like the Hong Kong Sixes showcase how teamwork and enthusiasm can create lasting connections between people from all walks of life. Both remind us that passion, whether for animals or athletics, can inspire positive action and foster understanding beyond boundaries.
