“We host a variety of special events during the year, and this one will feature our beautiful tropical birds as well as all the primates that call SPS home,” says Green. “We will have vendors, a contest for the best cheeseburgers and a prize for the best Parrot Hat costume. This is a fun new way for us to give back to the local communities and the people that support our non-profit mission to provide lifetime care for these amazing animals.”
