The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

A forever home: Why some parrots stay with us?

Our sanctuary offers  a different kind of "forever home" for some residents. Our permanent  residents are the parrots whose past experiences have left them with  special needs that make re-homing impossible or unethical. For these  birds, the sanctuary is not a temporary stop, but their final  destination, where they can live out their lives in peace and security. Many of our permanent flock members have complex histories that include:

• Multiple homes: Parrots live for a very long time, sometimes up to 80 years or more.  This means they often outlive their owners or are re-homed multiple  times throughout their lives, a stressful and traumatic experience for  these social animals.

• Abuse and neglect: We provide a haven for parrots who have suffered from neglect, abuse,  or improper care. Their behavioral and emotional needs are often too  complex for a typical home environment.

• Physical or medical issues: Some of our birds have chronic health conditions or physical  disabilities that require specialized, long-term care from our dedicated  veterinary team.

Here,  they can finally heal and just be birds. They form bonds with our family, volunteers, and other parrots, receive individualized care tailored to their unique  personalities, and enjoy the enrichment and safety they deserve. They  are the heart of our mission and the best evidence of the critical need  Sanctuary.
