“The Parrot’s International symposium has provided an important platform to present my parrot conservation work and hear the fantastic work of others from across the world. I learn a great deal from the many outstanding speakers, gleaning new ideas to improve my field conservation work and meeting many like-minded parrot conservationists.”

"I was really impressed with the PI Symposium the first time that I attended it! It was great! I participated on the last three ones, and each year is a great pleasure to see so many parrot researches gathered togheter! It is a very complete conference, with high level presentations, that can please both parrot breeders and conservationists. I think that PI makes a wonderfull job linking the field conservation to the captivity breeding efforts. The Symposium makes possible that you know the parrot conservation projects going on around the world and get in direct contact with the researchers. The exchange of knowledge and experience, the involvement of the parrot breeders with the conservation programs and the awareness that result from the Symposium are certainly important tools to the parrot conservation."

"I have attended two P.I.symposiums. Each time I was extremely impressed by the excellent organisation, and by the choice of speakers and the very high standard of their presentations. For me these meetings are extra special because the conservation of neotropical parrots has absorbed me even before I wrote Endangered Parrots in 1984 and no other symposiums have given this subject such emphasis".

“Parrots International’s annual parrot meetings are getting to be addictive. There’s something for everyone in these events. They’re a great mix of solid science, field reports, conservation updates, welfare advice and health tips. And our hosts, Mark and Marie Stafford, know how to make a conference feel like a party!”

"I have presented at the last two Parrot International Symposiums, and fully support the groups efforts to assist important parrot conservation activities with their well coordinated and informative Symposium. It is important in conservation that we are not just hidden in our countries working on a solution, but that we also have events like the Parrots International Symposium to exhibit valuable conservation work".
