The Long Island Parrot Society's
Parrot Expo 2011!
Presented by The Long Island Parrot Society, PARROT EXPO 2011 will be an all-day extravaganza of colorful exotic birds, interactive displays, scheduled demonstrations and workshops and a fabulous array of 'parrotphernalia' on sale in the huge vendor room.
The opulent VENDOR ROOM is a great place to do
your ‘Pollyday’ shopping… for your favorite birds and humans too!
The raffle lobby is always a big attraction; cages and accessories, bird food,
toys and accessories dominate the laden tables, while the gorgeous gift baskets
always garner raves from winners…that could be you! The education center
is a ‘don’t miss’ destination of the day, with live birds and lots of
volunteers to answer your questions.
