A Bird Symposium is so much more than you think! A day about birds, lectures and being together with bird friends is really a day out. To understand the animals better, but in particular our birds, you should and want to look behind borders. Attending days like this is part of keeping, breeding en enjoying your birds. Keeping birds is so much more than a bird in a cage or in the aviary. Talking together, discussing en sharing experiences makes the hobby alive for young and old. Not attending is not learning and also not developing and not keeping up. Not attending is doing a step backwards and we don’t want that, do we? We, team Bird Symposium, will pay attention to development en progress about birds in general. However, the parrots will always remain central but we want to share with you a broader picture about knowledge, experience and development. Increasing your own knowledge, provides a better breeding and a better way of educating for your birds, but also other domestic animals. These ‘Bird-days’ with much variation in subjects are therefore of great importance for everyone. Topics such as medication, the egg, breeding, diseases, behaviour and nature are to be discussed on the Bird Symposium. In addition, you get the opportunity to visit the PDD-laboratory. This day we also have a fantastic bird of prey show. This show will pay attention to the problems of birds of prey versus raptors. This will not be a standard presentation. This presentation is especially for his day.
To see and meet each other, to exchange views, in short, a day at the N.O.P is already very special itself. Having a walk through the park. Making beautiful pictures and enjoying this day. Dad, mum, grandmother and grandfather, friends, our day is for everybody. Please, tell this to your friends, because, not coming is missing a very nice day. The Bird Symposium is a concept. You want to be a part of it also, don’t you ? Where: in the N.O.P. (=Nederlands opvangcentrum papegaaien= Dutch refuge center for parrots). Where better than surrounded by birds, the N.O.P. is a fantastic location in order to organize this Bird Symposium. It will be a very nice day for people who love birds and other animals. The N.O.P. has so much more than just birds. For more information, see: www.papegaaienpark.nl.
