Parrot World is a zoological park specializing in psittacines, located in Chessy, Seine-et-Marne — a few kilometers from Disneyland Paris. The zero-euro souvenir note program, administered by Euroscope under license arrangements with the European Central Bank, has produced hundreds of these collector pieces since around 2016, each tied to a specific tourist attraction or cultural site. They carry no monetary value and are not legal tender, but they are printed to genuine banknote specification by Enschedé, one of Europe's oldest and most technically rigorous security printers, operating continuously in Haarlem since the early eighteenth century.
The watermark is the one concession to real banknote infrastructure that most collectors notice first.
