National Parrot Head Convention: Every November (first weekend) the National Parrot Head Organization puts together a convention in Key West that is outstanding and so much fun.  Some Emerald Isle Parrot Heads have attended and can vouch for a wonderful experience. This annual event has live music (of course), street fairs and gatherings of Parrot Heads from around the world! It’s basically a coming home for all Parrot Heads, something to consider at least once.
