Kowiachobee Animal Preserve will have a booth featuring 2 adorable critters:
“Baby” – a 3-year old female Black & White Skunk (and YES… she’s descented)
“Mr. Lilly” – a 4- year old male Bearded Dragon (Mr. Lilly was named Lilly when we first got ‘her’ — then we found out ‘her’ was a ‘him’ – hence the name MR. Lilly).
The Bird Gardens of Naples will have a booth and several large but friendly parrots and other birds. Festival attendees will be able to pet, feed, talk to and have their photos taken with them.
Mission Statement
The Bird Gardens of Naples is a nonprofit organization whose sole concern is parrot welfare in captivity and conservation of wild parrots. We are an outreach and placement program which places into safe custody, parrots which are abandoned, abused, or in need of a home for any reason. Parrots are intelligent, highly social and complex beings with a life span of up to 80 years. The individual bird’s best interest and well being of the present flock will determine if a parrot is accepted into the organization. We actively support networking with other parrot welfare groups, animal welfare organizations, the veterinary community, conservation organizations and the general public. Education is of the utmost importance concerning the well being of a parrot and its ability to successfully live with its human companions.
