MEMBERSHIP DRIVE FOR 2026-27 ON NOW!

Somehow, it’s almost September – and that means it’s time to open or renew your membership with the Greater Edmonton Parrot Society (GEPS).

IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR 2026-27
All memberships are now processed through Zeffy, a safe and secure online platform designed specifically for Canadian charities and registered non-profits like the Greater Edmonton Parrot Society.

Once your application has been submitted and payment is received/processed, you will receive a welcome email with your new 2026-27 e-membership card attached. You can either keep the card on your smartphone as a digital file or print a copy to keep in your wallet. In either format, the card contains a QR code that, when scanned, shows your full membership details (names of individual or family members, expiration date, etc.) so it can be used to obtain membership discounts at retailers and other benefits of membership

We are so excited about the upcoming year of fun and educational activities, and we cannot wait to welcome you back!

We decided to take Gizmo on his first hotel trip to Edmonton for the Parrot Show, and let's just say... he's a party animal! 😅 From midnight lasers to meeti...
