What kind of  KIDS ACTIVITIES  do we offer?  LIVE PARROTS, of course.  We will be offering pictures with them, performances with them and information.  Then, go out and play some of the games we designed just about parrots and earn some prizes to take home.  After that, check out our amazing face painter and balloon artist.  If that was not enough, go exploring throughout the exhibit hall to get stamps from the exhibitors to earn your "wings" today!   Lastly, pick up FREE HANDOUTS/INFORMATION/crafts, games, puzzles and more brought to us by our SPONSORS and more. ​ Click on the links or box below to see what  KIDS ACTIVITIES we are working on for the Expo this year!
