Parrot Line and The National Parrot Sanctuary
Derren's extensive charity work and general altruistic endeavours stretch selflessly to being proud patron of the country's finest home for sick parrots.
The National Parrot Sanctuary (which helps raise funds for the charity, 'Parrot Line') is located near Skegness and provides a home for hundreds of rescued, colourful, talkative birds; and is occasional home to Derren's own two little conures when he is away on important international celebrity business.
Parrot Line and the Sanctuary are run by Steve Nicholls, a dedicated and utterly absorbed expert on these incredible creatures.
Please visit the site and drop in at the centre if you're up that way.
