Phoenix Landing Online Classes<br />
Phoenix Landing Parrot Rescue will offer ‘No Place<br />
Like Home’—a self-paced, online class, available Friday,<br />
November 5 - Monday, November 22. When we bring a<br />
parrot into our lives, from parakeets to macaws, we are<br />
offering them a place to call home. What does home<br />
mean? For a parrot it might mean a place to be safe, be<br />
healthy, have a sense of family, and be provided positive<br />
opportunities to live and thrive. This class will address<br />
what each of these means to a bird, and give you some<br />
ideas about how to continue providing the good life for<br />
your bird. This class satisfies their adoption process class<br />
requirement. In order for applicants to receive credit for<br />
the class, all activities must be completed and turned<br />
in. Online (Google Classroom). Registration is free,<br />
but please show your support by paying what<br />
you can afford—whether $5 or $25. Register at<br />
