About Pepper the Parrot:

Pepper is a 12-year-old African Grey parrot and an ambassador for Phoenix Landing, an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to helping parrots.  Pepper has been seen on Animal Planet's Pet Star and has been featured in BirdTalk magazine, Companion Parrot Quarterly and BirdChannel.com. 

Pepper sometimes sings lyrically, but more often does sound effects, she can even bark like a dog!  She also loves to watch football, and does amazing sounds like sports fans.  She squeals and screams with excitement and sounds exactly like the ref's whistle.  

About Phoenix Landing:

The Phoenix Landing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization. It was established to promote and protect the welfare of parrots, especially those with an extensive lifespan.

Increasingly, these intelligent and beautiful birds are becoming household companions. Meanwhile, their native rain forests and deserts are being rapidly consumed for use by people. As guardians of our pets, and growing consumers of the land, it is our responsibility to provide care and help for parrots -- both in domesticity and in the wild.

Phoenix Landing provides for parrots in need and acts as advocates for those without protection.
