The Auburn Community and Event Center went to the birds last weekend. More than 20 parrot species from throughout the world were on display at the center in Les Gove Park for the Seattle Parrot Expo.
Parrots flew overhead, roller skated, played basketball, performed tricks and, of course, talked.
International, national and local experts spoke about parrots.
The expo served as a fundraiser to benefit the Flight Club Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire personal and environmental growth using parrots as ambassadors.
