Meet Jazz, the parrot with a big personality and an even bigger fan club 🦜✨ 

For the past 20 years, Animal Care Specialist Lora has been sharing Jazz with guests through our Animal Ambassadors program, helping people connect with this charismatic 27-year-old parrot. Jazz has been inspiring curiosity, joy, and care for wildlife wherever she goes. 

Jazz’s journey to the Zoo began as a former pet, and over the years, she and her care team have built an incredible bond through patience, trust, and training. She may not be able to fly, but she shows off in her own way, reminding us that every animal (and every person) is unique. 

Next time you see Jazz around the Zoo, give her a wave, she’s here to help spark connections to wildlife near and far. 

You can support these connections by donating to DZCA and supporting our animal care, conservation, and education programs that inspire the next generation.

A Wild Morning at the @Colorado State Capitol! 
 
We had an incredible time celebrating Zoo Day at the Capitol! Our team, along with some of our amazing Animal Ambassadors, spent the morning showcasing Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance’s work in wildlife conservation, sustainability, Species Survival Programs (SSP), rescue and rehabilitation, and learning and engagement initiatives. 
 
A huge thank you to @Governor Jared Polis and the Colorado General Assembly for welcoming us and for their continued support of our mission to save wildlife in Colorado and around the world and thank you @firstgentmarlonreis for being a strong supporter of the Zoo and living our mission with us. 
 
It’s always an honor to bring the magic of the Zoo to the Capitol and share the importance of conservation with our state leaders and community!
