What We Do
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, educate and adopt out parrots to qualified new families. We do not buy, sell or breed. We’ve got great birds that are looking for new homes.
Why a Parrot Rescue?
Many prospective owners don’t realize that parrots are high-maintenance animals, or that their life expectancy can average 30-80 years, depending on the species. The commitment is enormous. When owners can no longer care for their parrot they come to us to help re-home.
Under the best of circumstances, it is a heartbreaking decision that can cause a beloved avian companion to face an uncertain future. Parrots may arrive having suffered with health problems, stress, neglect or abuse.
Placing parrots with a qualified, reputable rescue sanctuary, whose only interest is the bird’s welfare, is the humane choice. Special needs parrots often remain at the sanctuary for life. Others are stabilized and offered for adoption.
