National Animal Safety and Protection Month

October is National Animal Safety and Protection Month. We believe parrots are part of the family. Protecting the safety of your parrot is a pet parent’s main responsibility. National Animal Safety and Prevention Month is a wonderful opportunity to remind people of the importance of animals in our everyday lives and to make sure that they are treated kindly with the respect and care they deserve.

National Animal Safety and Protection month was created by the PALS Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping animals and people coexist.
