Our Mission...

The Gateway Parrot Club, Inc. is a 501c3 not for profit organization based in St. Louis Missouri and established in 1988 to:

• Bring people together in a friendly atmosphere in the interest of exchanging information on bird care and breeding.
• Create interest in bird care and responsible breeding through monthly educational programs and annual bird fairs.
• Reduce neglect, cruelty and abuse of captive birds through education and public outreach.
• Educate the public, as well as ourselves, on the ever present danger of extinction in the wild.

Be tidy! We know parrots make it hard to stay clean. We all must be good pet parents and clean up after our own birds. Please clean up any messes as they occur so we leave the facility clean.

Masks are not required and the choice to continue masking is a personal one. Please be respectful of all attendees.

World Bird Sanctuary - World Bird Sanctuary (WBS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that preserves, protects, and inspires to safeguard bird species as part of the global community for future generations.

Bird Endowment, Saving the Blues - The well-being of all birds, especially parrots, is Bird Endowment's passion. Our daily labor, however, is breaking the extinction vortex into which the Blue-throated Macaw has been thrust. In the wild, we support Blue-throated Macaw conservation projects that are planned and executed with stakeholder consensus. In captivity, our facility empowers Blue-throated Macaw parents to fledge and wean their offspring in the safety of a protected captive environment. www.birdendowment.org
