    For this program, Parrot Partners will bring at least 3 parrots, from different areas of the world, ranging in size from very small and ‘spunky’ to massive and ‘mellow.’  We introduce each parrot, one at a time, and share interesting and entertaining facts and stories about their natures and lives in the wild and in our homes.   Participants will be offered the opportunity to give our parrots a treat or drink from a safety cup or feeding skewer, as well as pose for photos with the parrots. Family Program for ages 5+.

    Parrot Partners is the only rehabilitation program for Parrots in Canada that combines professional training, education, and rehabilitation in the charitable service of relinquished and misunderstood parrots.

    Les bandes dessinées sont reconnues pour leur capacité à capter l’intérêt des lecteurs les plus réticents, ce qui les rendent bien appréciées par les enfants du monde entier. Jo utilise ses propres bandes dessinées pour initier les participants à ce médium unique. À partir d’un exercice d’imagination qui sert de point de départ à leur histoire, les participants se concentrent ensuite à marier mots et images pour transformer leurs idées en création originale. Jo propose une démonstration interactive de dessin et un court exercice pratique visant à initier les participants au processus créatif d’écriture.

    Pour les 8 à 12 ans.
