Think Parrots 2026 brings expert parrot care, shopping and community together
At Kempton Park, owners got a full day of avian vets, new cages and food, plus a hard rule: birds showing illness stayed out.
When a parrot is off its food, bored in the cage, or acting out, owners do not have much time to hunt across forums and guess their next move. Think Parrots 2026 turned that pressure into a single day at Kempton Park Racecourse, putting health advice, enrichment ideas, shopping and community under one roof on Sunday 7 June 2026.
The show was billed as a full day focused on parrot health, enrichment and care, and the practical side came through in the details. Visitors could look over new toys, treats, cages, food, accessories and more, while friendly expert staff were on hand to help. For first-time owners and lifelong enthusiasts alike, that meant the same hall could answer immediate questions about diet, housing, training and behavior without forcing anyone to piece together care advice from scattered sources.
The strongest welfare message was built into the entry policy. Think Parrots said birds that appeared sick or unwell were not allowed in, an isolation room could be provided, and avian vets were attending the show to assist or advise. That matters in a parrot space where people trade birds, tools and hard-won experience in close quarters. It also makes the event more than a shopping stop: it is a controlled setting where care and biosecurity sit alongside the stalls.
Kempton Park Racecourse in Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex, gave the show a large and accessible base. The Jockey Club describes the venue as London’s closest racecourse and says it hosts more than 70 horseracing fixtures a year, with directions and parking information set up for visitors arriving by road or rail. That kind of infrastructure helps explain why Think Parrots has become a fixture for the UK’s pet parrot crowd.
The event also fits into a wider push for better welfare in the UK parrot world. The Parrot Society UK launched Parrot Awareness Week in 2023 to promote improved welfare for pet parrot-like birds and to help owners provide the best care possible, including finding an avian vet. Think Parrots itself returned after a five-year break in 2024, and a 2025 review said the show drew parrot lovers from across the UK. By 2026, the pattern was clear: the community wanted face-to-face learning, credible health support and a place to compare the basics in person, not a pile of disconnected advice at home.
