Education Policy

Education Policy 2010

The goal of the Parrot Zoo's Education Department is to increase the understanding of, and the responsibility for, local and global animal species -- strengthening the bond between people and the living world.

We encourage our next generations to discover what their role is in protecting the many species of flora and fauna both worldwide and at home.

We aim to achieve this by providing information alongside exhibits on individual species and their natural habitats, the information provided shall suit all levels of the curriculum as well as adults.

Closer to home we have provided a Nature Reserve where over 14,000 trees have been planted and a number of water wildlife areas have been incorporated including a 2 acre lake. This gives the zoo the opportunity to show youngsters how animal life develops within a newly formed wildlife area and just how important it is to respect all forms of animal life.

We are in the process of creating a newly proposed education centre which will enable the Parrot Zoo to increase educational facilities with up to date technology by way of touch screen information systems giving instant access to all ranges of knowledge based programs involving the Psittacine family allowing us to stay in touch with the younger generation on a more user friendly system.
