Who We Are:
Our rescue is a not for profit family
owned rescue. My passion for birds
has been with me my whole life and
6 years ago, I ran a bird sanctuary
from our 40 acre Montana home.
Our work involved strictly the most
severe cases and their were no
adoptions, just permanent birds
living a free life on our beautiful
mountain land. Since moving back
to PA, we realized their are many
good birds needing a loving home
and good people wanting to provide
the home for a bird in need and so
our work continues. My husband
has worked around birds when he
was younger feeding and weening
at a pet store he worked for. As for
myself, I have owned them since the
age of 8. For over 20 years I have
cared for and raised birds ranging
from very small to the largest of
them. I have experience in hand
feeding, training, avian behavioral
problems and knowledge of
illnesses associated with avian
health. We also have 4 children, the
three oldest help us in our every day
duties including training birds to be
kid friendly.
We are currently in the process of
acquiring a larger residents so we
may expand our Sanctuary and
build outdoor flight cages for our
permanent birds, which we found to
be far greater than those that can
be adopted out. Although all these
years we have ran our Rescue and
Sanctuary from our own out of
pocket money, all donations are
greatly appreciated and will be put
into a separate funds account to
help us acquire a larger sanctuary.

Our Mission :
(To serve and protect those whom can not protect themselves)
We here at "Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue" know the joys of owning birds. We
also understand that some people come into unfortunate situations where
they are no longer able to keep or provide for them. Therefore we have
opened our home to all unwanted, neglected and abused birds in need of a
good home. We will take them in under any circumstance, no questions asked.
We provide them with a safe environment, the necessary food, cages, medical
care, lighting and the love they need and deserve and then we find them
loving homes to be placed in. We address dietary and/or behavioral problems
before placing in a new home. We take in special needs birds and they go
through a rehabilitation period before adopting out to a qualified home. We
are trained to hand feed babies and problem eaters and we do specialize in
large birds who need proper socialization in order to minimize of the risk of
injury. Our sanctuary provides a forever home for those who need that extra
special attention and care do to aggression or terminal illness or for those
birds on the verge of becoming endangered or are endangered do to societies
ignorance. We do this because of our love and experience of over 20 years
has given us such joy and all of these beautiful companions deserve a second
chance. This is my passion in life and will continue my work as long as I can
and in time will pass down this wonderful opportunity to my children so that
they may continue to help all these beautiful birds in need.
What makes us different from big rescues
Every rescue is unique in their own way and they all deserve recognition and
praise for the work they do. Just as we have our own views on how to
operate our rescue, they have their own and a lot of larger rescues believe
that birds should be quarantined away from everyday distractions, such as
kids and pets in order to work with them in a professional manner. What
makes us different is that all of our birds are kept in a home based, family
atmosphere where they can experience everyday life with adults and children
and become familiar and accustomed to activities, noise, and other pets.
They are out of their cages all day interacting with us and each other. Each
bird gets individual playtime along with group playtime if they so desire. We
take in a limited number of birds to insure we can provide each and everyone
with enough time. We do not warehouse our birds and they are not left in a
store by themselves. They are not transferred from foster home to foster
home. They are in our care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that we can
monitor them for behavior, sleeping and eating patterns, this way we can
accurately pass this info on to a potential adopter. The only time we use a
foster home is if we have a emergency case that comes in and we do not have
the room or set-up and then it is for a short time until a space opens up.
About our adopters
Our rescues are adopted out to families who wish to own one as a pet and
forever family member. All wishing to adopt will go through a screening
process and will be charged a reasonable adoption fee to ensure that the bird
will be going to someone who can properly care for him/her. Our potential
adopters must sign a contract at time of adoption. Under no circumstance is a
rescue to be used for breeding, entertainment or re-selling purposes. All birds
adopted out through Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue will be carefully monitored
in their new homes and for any reason we feel they are not getting the proper
requirements needed, they must be returned back here. We match all birds to
the family and home most suitable for his/her needs, this way we can
minimize the most stressful situations a bird may have to face. If he/she does
not like children, he/she will be placed in a child free home, if he/she prefers
men over women, then placement will be with a male and vice versa. We
provide continual support and education to anyone adopting a parrot from us
and phone calls and email's are welcome 24 hours a day.
An adoption center does become very expensive (tanks, cages, toys, lights,
food, vet bills, grooming, medication, ect. ect.). As we do not require a
application or drop off fee as most rescues do, all donations including any
bird related items or monetary are greatly appreciated. At this time our
biggest need is bird food and large parrot toys do to the amount of parrots
being relinquished. It is the responsibility of the pet owner to drop the bird
off and preferably their cage to be adopted out in or ship to our location. Only
in the severest cases can arrangements be made for pick-ups. Serving PA, MD
and surrounding areas.
