Zoo Knoxville: Name a parakeet after your mom for Mother's Day

From Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 12, you can name a parakeet after your mother.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — What do you get for the special person in your life who has everything? Zoo Knoxville may have the perfect gift.

You can name a parakeet for Mother's Day. This year, the holiday falls on Sunday, May 12.

For a $10 donation to Zoo Knoxville, you can symbolically name a parakeet after the "tweetest" mother in your life. Each donation will include a digital fact sheet, certificate and a free seed stick to feed the parakeets if you visit them between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Mother's Day.

Just show your certificate or receipt to feed them.

All naming submissions made before 12 a.m. on Friday, May 10 will be featured publicly on a poster inside the Budgie Landing Aviary in Kids Cove from May 11 to May 13. Only first names will be displayed.
