Parrot University, a parrot supply store at 321 South Polk Street in Pineville, holds free classes presented by Companion Parrots Re-Homed on parrot care and ownership. These classes are a great way to decide if you’re ready to adopt a bird, and also to give you more information once you have welcomed a bird into your family. The classes are free, but you need to RSVP in advance, and donations are accepted. Call 704-889-2325 or email info@companionparrots.org to register.
