Mission
Our mission is to help parrot owners preserve clear, consistent records that support lifelong care, continuity, and understanding — especially as circumstances change over time.
Parrots are long-lived animals. Accurate records help ensure their needs are understood and respected throughout their lives.
Why it exists?
This project began after getting my first parrot and realising there was no practical way to record everything that mattered in one place.
Important details about diet, health, behaviour, and routines were easy to lose. These journals were created to solve that problem, with a focus on clarity, longevity, and welfare.

‘Ripley’
This project is created by L. E. Lee, a long-term parrot owner.
The birds photographed on this site are part of my own flock and are the inspiration behind the series. Through years of living with parrots — from hatch date through later life and loss — I learned, often the hard way, which information truly matters to keep.
These journals were shaped by that experience, with a focus on preserving the records that would be most important to a parrot if their care ever had to change.
What makes it different?
These journals are designed to be both a practical care record and a meaningful keepsake.
Each edition is species-specific and structured around the real, long-term needs of parrots, with space to record health, diet, behaviour, routines, and significant life events. Information is organised so it remains clear and easy to reference over time.
This balance allows the journal to support day-to-day care, continuity during change, and reflection across a parrot’s life — without sacrificing clarity or usefulness.
Who is this book for?
These journals are for parrot owners who want to keep clear, long-term records that support their bird’s welfare over a lifetime.
They are particularly useful for:
birds with long life expectancies
households with more than one carer
parrots that may be boarded, fostered, or rehomed
owners who want important information to remain clear and accessible
They are suitable for both first-time owners and experienced keepers.
Practical example
Small details can matter years later.
For example, one of my parrots lost a toenail early in life after it was caught on a drawer. He received veterinary care and healed well, but the toe was left with a small stub. Without a written record, that detail could easily be misunderstood by a future carer or vet.
These journals exist to preserve that kind of information — not just major events, but the everyday details that explain why a bird is the way they are.
