The annual Parrot Expo held by the Long Island Parrot Society was held on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Freeport Recreation Center in Freeport, N.Y. Hundreds of bird afficiando’s flocked to the center to see the many different birds and parrots, listen to expert speakers and see many unusual and practical bird items displayed by the vendors.
Two things that stopped me in my tracks, ok 3, was the parrot stroller for sale – we have all seen the doggie strollers – but this well equipped and very nicely made stroller for your parrot was a first for this pet pro. Made by Celltei they carried a large line of different types of carriers for your birds and othet pets. The bird stroller and other assoried bird carriers is a whole niche market in my opinion.
The 2nd item that made me stop was a very large bird cage in the center of the vendor area. You could easily fit 20 or so people in it, standing – now that is a bird cage.
The 3rd time I was stopped in my tracks is when I noticed this beautiful black palm cockatoo. Up until this point I never saw or heard of this bird before – very unique looking and pretty. As soon as he saw my camera, he popped up his head feathers, turned and posed for his pic. Seriously a complete ham!
If you missed the Parrot Expo, LIPS hosts meetings every month at the American Legion Post in Babylon Village, like a mini expo every month with different speakers, product and birds to see. For more info on LIPS click here. For more pictures from the Parrot Expo CLICK here!
