Places to work with parrots in Ireland

Nessa said:

I would love to experience working with parrots in some capacity to help me decide what kind of bird would be right for me. I've babysat cockatiels and an African grey, but I would like to meet more birds.

I've tried to find rescue centres and sanctuaries, but the only ones I've found are too far away to be practical. There's be in Clare, which doesn't have a website, and there's an exotic pet rescue centre in Meath (although they don't have any parrots at the moment). I would love to know if anyone knows of any aviaries or pet shops that deal with birds regularly around Kildare, Carlow or Dublin which would be willing to offer work (even voluntary work would be good). Many thanks!

Did you try Copsewood Aviaries...I dont know a whole lot about them except that they have a lot of parrots...they are too far away from me to visit so check thrm out and see what you think . If you google them you will get a map and contact details. Have you tried Dublin Zoo ?
