Zsa Zsa's Party Parrots
History
Zsa Zsa's Party Parrots has been known by several names over the
years, including "Scarlet Macaw," "Caribbean Dreams," and "Party Parrots." What
has not changed is our commitment to Houston.
Houston socialite
Carolyn Farb,
author of "How To Raise Millions Helping Others, Having A Ball!: A Guide To Fundraising,"
(Eakin Publications, 1993) got us involved in the Houston-area charity scene as
far back as the early 1970's, and we have worked with her on many projects since.
