PsittaScene Magazine

PsittaScene is the quarterly magazine published by the World Parrot Trust. Members receive a printed copy delivered as part of their subscription by post, and we make an electronic version available here.

Each issue has regular updates on the work being carried out by the WPT, along with reports from the field. The magazine also covers topics relating to bird behaviour in captivity, helping parrot owners to understand their complex companions.
