The Executive Bird Council (EBC) is a community dedicated to providing evidence-based bird care information while celebrating the people who share their lives with parrots and other companion birds.

Our mission is simple:

Better Information • Better Care • Thriving Birds

We believe that when bird owners have access to accurate information, practical resources, and supportive communities, birds live healthier and happier lives.

Not currently.

EBC’s primary focus is education, advocacy, and resource development. We actively support reputable bird rescues and encourage responsible adoption.

Our long-term vision includes developing rescue and rehabilitation initiatives that directly benefit companion birds in need.

All companion birds are welcome.

Resources currently focus heavily on parrots, including:

• Macaws

• African Greys

• Eclectus Parrots

• Cockatoos

• Amazons

• Conures

• Budgies

• Cockatiels

• Lovebirds

• Parrotlets

As EBC grows, our educational library will continue expanding to include additional species.

Anyone who loves birds.

Whether you are:

• A first-time bird owner

• An experienced parrot keeper

• A breeder

• A veterinarian

• A veterinary technician

• A rescue volunteer

• A behavior consultant

• A lifelong bird enthusiast

there is a place for you in the EBC community.

EBC works to incorporate information from avian veterinarians, scientific literature, experienced caretakers, and reputable educational resources.

However, information on this website should never replace direct veterinary care for an individual bird.

If your bird is sick or injured, please contact an avian veterinarian immediately.

No.

The information provided by EBC is intended for educational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

Every bird is unique, and health concerns should always be discussed with a qualified avian veterinarian.

EBC was created because finding reliable bird information can be difficult.

Bird owners are often faced with:

• Conflicting advice

• Social media myths

• Outdated husbandry practices

• Inconsistent nutrition recommendations

• Limited access to evidence-based resources

EBC exists to help bridge that gap by providing clear, practical, and trustworthy information.

The “Council” represents the community of bird lovers, caregivers, educators, and advocates who help shape EBC.

Bird care is constantly evolving, and we believe collaboration leads to better outcomes for both birds and the people who care for them.

Piper is EBC’s Rescue Ambassador.

Her story represents the resilience, intelligence, and incredible potential of birds given a second chance.

Through Piper’s journey, EBC hopes to inspire adoption, rescue support, and lifelong commitment to responsible bird ownership.

You can help by:

• Sharing educational resources

• Supporting local bird rescues

• Practicing responsible bird ownership

• Participating in community discussions

• Volunteering your expertise

• Donating when future initiatives become available

Every action helps improve the lives of companion birds.

Yes.

Planned resources include:

• Species care guides

• Nutrition resources

• Behavior and training guides

• Enrichment libraries

• Rescue and adoption information

• Veterinary resource directories

• Printable care tools and checklists

• Community stories and bird spotlights

We would love to hear from you.

Whether you have questions, suggestions, educational content to contribute, or simply want to share your bird’s story, please visit our Contact page.

EBC welcomes collaboration from bird owners, rescues, veterinary professionals, trainers, and educators who share our commitment to improving bird welfare through accurate and responsible information.

The Executive Bird Council was founded on a simple belief:

Bird owners deserve better information, better resources, and a stronger community.

Many bird owners find themselves navigating a world of conflicting advice, outdated recommendations, and social media opinions presented as fact. EBC was created to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge, practical experience, and everyday bird ownership.

What makes EBC different is our commitment to:

Evidence-Based Education

We strive to provide information grounded in current research, avian veterinary medicine, and established husbandry practices rather than trends, myths, or unsupported claims.

Practical Real-World Experience

Good bird care doesn’t happen only in textbooks. We value the insights of experienced bird owners, rescue organizations, trainers, veterinary professionals, and caretakers who work with birds every day.

Respectful Community Discussion

Bird owners come from many different backgrounds and experiences. EBC encourages respectful conversation, thoughtful learning, and constructive dialogue rather than judgment or gatekeeping.

Focus on Lifelong Bird Welfare

Our goal is not simply helping people own birds—it’s helping birds thrive throughout their lives through proper nutrition, enrichment, training, veterinary care, and human-animal relationships.

Supporting Rescue and Adoption

We believe every bird deserves a safe and loving home. EBC actively promotes responsible ownership, adoption, rescue awareness, and long-term commitment to companion birds.

Continuous Learning

Bird care continues to evolve as new research emerges. We are committed to updating our resources, challenging outdated practices, and remaining open to new evidence and perspectives.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every bird owner has access to reliable information, every bird receives compassionate and informed care, and the bird community works together to improve the lives of companion birds everywhere.
