Welcome to the Tour of Parrots! Being owned by a parrot is fun, exhausting, exciting, challenging and wonderful. These creatures are very much like small people dressed in feather suits. Their zest for life is contagious! Personalities as big as the whole outdoors are packed into their small, rainbow-hued bodies.

I am owned by a Blue-crowned conure named Rio and an orange-winged Amazon parrot named Pancho. They fill my life with love and laughter and I'd like to pass a little of that on to you. I hope you enjoy the sites I've chosen. Each one is packed with pictures, wonderful information, articles, and links to more exciting parrot pages. Now, on with the tour:
