In its first year the week culminated at the Pet Parrot Gathering &#8211; an event hosted by the Parrot Society and held at Stafford County Showground on the 8th of July 2023, featuring a symposium of talks from prominent figures in the field of parrot care and welfare, along with trade stands selling parrot related food, toys and equipment along with competitions and lots more! The week generated a lot of interest on social media, and the stand at the Pet Parrot gathering attracted a lot of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, PAW ended in association with&nbsp;<em>Think Parrots,&nbsp;<\/em>at Kempton Park racecourse, and again supported by PSUK. The group is young, dynamic, and full of ideas to help you and your parrots, with a strong presence on social media.
