Meet Kya, the bird who started it all
Kya's story is the heart of this community.
Kya was a blue-and-gold macaw who spent the first 35 years of her life locked in a tiny metal box. She was wild caught, then kept as a breeder bird. She was never touched, never let outside, never offered fresh food or clean water. When a rescue finally stepped in, everything changed.
Her recovery shaped everything we teach here: parrots thrive when people understand their needs, respect their instincts, and build healthy relationships with them.
This membership is named for her because she represents what's possible when humans do better.
