for the love of birds

Teaching connection, inspiring conservation

The Kya Project exists to make parrot care kinder, clearer, and more connected by combining education, community, and conservation.

Our work connects everyday bird lovers with the bigger picture: from better care at home to protecting species in the wild.

Community

A safe, supportive place for parrot owners to ask questions, share stories, and get real help from others who care just as much.
‍

Education

Live and virtual programs that bring rescued ambassador macaws into schools and community spaces to teach science, empathy, and conservation.

Rescue

We rehabilitate parrots with difficult pasts, some becoming ambassadors in our programs. We also support rescue partners doing vital work across the country.

Conservation

Partnerships and projects that protect wild habitats, reduce poaching, and create awareness of sustainable, ethical alternatives to the pet trade.

Bringing Conservation to Life

Our education programs bring rescued ambassador parrots into classrooms and community spaces to make conservation real.
‍
Through hands-on presentations and live demonstrations, our education programs teach the biology and behavior of parrots while connecting those lessons to real-world conservation. Students learn how their choices and compassion can protect species and habitats across the globe, plus the important of rescue for our feathered friends.

Meet Our ambassador parrots

Moxie

Moxie is a blue-throated macaw who came to us at eight years old after living in ten different homes. She has a damaged wing and can’t fly, but she makes up for it with her sharp mind and love of problem-solving. True to her species, she’s clever, curious, and always eager to train or tackle a new puzzle.

Willow

Willow is a blue and gold macaw adopted from a loving family who could no longer care for her when she was three. She’s trained in free flight and loves meeting new people, making her a natural ambassador for her species. Confident and social, Willow reminds everyone how joyful and connected parrots can be when given the right space to thrive.

Noella

Noella is a 30-year-old Congo African grey with the calm wisdom of a big sister. She’s gentle, perceptive, and deeply bonded to her flock. Known for her intelligence and steady nature, Noella brings balance to the group and shows just how thoughtful and emotionally complex African greys can be.

Buzz

Buzz is a 55-year-old wild-caught Timneh African Grey who spent most of his life as a breeder bird before joining our flock. Now retired from that world, he’s learning that his new environment can be safe and kind. Every small step he takes toward trust reminds us why rescue and patience matter.
