𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌’𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 💚 As a flock, we have been talking about the types of light that make us feel inspired, comforted, energised and just a little bit more ourselves… 🔥 Eve is fire – warm, instinctive and full of atmosphere. There’s something about the soft flicker and natural glow of flames that feels calming and captivating all at once. It’s easy to see why it’s her favourite ⭐ Stacey is our wonderful stars – because there’s something magical about looking up at the night sky and seeing tiny points of light shining through the dark. They have a quiet kind of beauty that never gets old, and always feel a bit special no matter where you are ☀️ The sun is Casey’s favourite – especially when she’s on holiday. Bright, energising and impossible to ignore, there’s nothing quite like sunshine to bring that feel-good, main-character energy and make everything feel a little more alive Three very different forms of light, but each with their own unique kind of glow. Stay tuned as we learn more about the remaining flocks’ favourites! #InternationalDayOfLight #LightingLove #FlockFavourites #TeamParrot #LightInspiration

𝑳𝒆𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 💚 This Mental Health Awareness Week, the flock is taking a moment to pause, check in, and remind ourselves that how we feel matters just as much as what we do. In an industry that’s always moving, creating, and delivering, it can be easy to stay switched on 24/7 – but taking time to rest, reset, and reach out is still important. Whether it’s: ☕ Stepping away for a proper coffee break 🚶 Getting outside for some fresh air 💬 Having an honest chat with someone you trust 📵 Or simply logging off when you need to Small moments can make a big difference. As a team, we’re big believers in supporting each other, keeping conversations open, and making space for both the highs and the tougher days too. Be kind to your mind this week – and every week 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #TeamParrot #FlockLife #WellbeingAtWork #BeKindToYourMind
