Parrot Info
Where Love, Patience and Dedication is the key to rehabilitation!

Our Position
Whether captured in the wild or born in captivity, parrots are not
domesticated animals like cats and dogs. They are still wild animals.
Their natural curiosity, sensitivity, intellect, playfulness, and ability to
form bonds with humans can tempt people to keep them in captivity.
Unfortunately, the traits that make parrots so intriguing are the same
ones that make them extremely difficult to live with as companion
animals. Many parrots find themselves displaced as their natural
behaviors and needs clash with human expectations. Before you buy
or adopt a parrot, consider the following facts:

* Parrots bite and chew — you and your home!
* Parrots are messy and active!
* Parrots scream, but many do not talk!
* Most parrots won't learn cute tricks!
* Parrots are social and need daily attention!
* Some parrots never bond with humans!
* Parrots need to be served a varied diet!
* Parrots are sensitive to household products!
* Parrot cages, toys, and vet visits are expensive!
* Large parrots can live up to 80 years — will you?

Educating yourself about parrots before bringing one into your life is
crucial to solving the displaced parrot problem! Only people who
thoroughly understand that parrots are wild animals and who can
commit to meeting their demanding needs should consider providing
a home for one. Only then will all parrots kept in captivity be properly
cared for and appreciated for the wild animals they are, the pet
market's demand for "impulse purchased"baby parrots will decrease,
and the displaced bird epidemic will become a thing of the past.
You can find some very educational info on this page and on our
home page.
Meet Sam.  He is one of our rescued friends we have helped.  Sam have
managed to get him on a proper diet and he has seen our avian vet, we
purchased a new larger cage and $100's worth of toys to ease Sam's
stress levels but his follicles are damaged and he and feels safe and
secure.  Sam is one of the lucky ones who has made it here before it was
to late.  Before purchasing or adopting, please do your research or
another parrot could end up like Sam.  If you already own a bird and
can no longer provide the time and care needed, please consider placing
your bird in the care of a qualified rescue or home before they begin to
get stressed and start plucking, mutilating themselves or acquire
behavior problems.  It takes dedication, finances, time, space and a lot
of love and patience to care for a parrot (bird).  These special creatures
are just like children and require just as much time and attention, if not
more and they are very demanding.  If you do not have the time to
dedicate or can not properly provide emotionally or financially for one,
please consider other alternatives such as volunteering or fostering
which is not a life long commitment.
We need your help!
