Behind the Feathers: Our Story & Mission

Parrots are not what you think.

Before you buy one -or let your child have one - read this.

90% of parrots change homes up to 5 times in their first 2 years. It doesn't have to be this way.

"I am not a toy. I am not a decoration. And I don't speak on command."

What Wild would tell you, if he could
90% of all parrots change owners up to five times in their first two years - often bought as a cute gift or after watching a viral video.

Then reality knocks on the door. The parrot screams, makes a mess, destroys furniture and above all: it needs a soul that truly understands it.

The biggest misconception: Not every parrot talks. And when it doesn't, many owners simply give it away.

WILD Moments was created to break this cycle  one child, one book, one story at a time.

My name is Beri Kirsh. In 2017, I walked into a pet shop with no knowledge and bought a parrot on impulse. I was exactly the person I now warn others about.

⚠ A parrot has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child  and lives for decades. This is not a decision for one summer.

I chose not to give up. I made myself a promise:

"I will be the last and forever home for my birds." WILD Moments was born from that promise.

Wild is my cockatoo — and the bird our brand is named after.

⚠ Before he came to me, his wings were cruelly clipped. He still cannot fly to this day. A living testament to what happens when humans try to control nature.

Skippy is my personal tornado. Adopted from a shelter in 2025, found on the street. Curious, chaotic, full of life.

✓ He reminds us every day: A parrot given a real chance will truly thrive.

The WILD Moments series includes 5 books - each with its own story. Here's a glimpse into the first two:

Book 1: A child sees a video online and buys a parrot  and then learns step by step what the animal truly needs.
Book 2: The child realizes their home isn't suitable  and gives the parrot to a shelter so it can have a better life. Real love sometimes means letting go.

A child who read the second book cried  because the parrot couldn't stay. The mother asked me if that was normal. My answer: That's exactly what these books are meant to do. Real empathy. Real responsibility.

What do books 3, 4 and 5 tell? You'll discover that best yourself together with your child.

"Ordered books from this author and they were absolutely fantastic, so educational and easy to read at the same time! Enjoyed reading all 5 of them and I plan on passing them on to children with an interest in getting a parrot so they understand the responsibility."
