Every single day, an incredible amount of time, work, and dedication goes into running a parrot rescue.
Veterinary care. Medications. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Pellets. Nuts. Electricity. Water. Cleaning supplies. Enrichment. Aviary maintenance. Laundry. Repairs. Endless cleaning. And above all, countless hours caring for over 180 parrots that depend on us every single day.
Take a moment and ask yourself… what do you think it costs just to feed over 180 birds every month?
Lately, I’ve seen people criticize rescues for asking for donations. The truth is, most rescues aren’t funded by large organizations or wealthy donors. Many of us rely on small donations from compassionate people who simply want to help make a difference.
Rescues ask for food donations because every bag of pellets, every box of fresh produce, every bag of nuts, and every bird-safe item donated helps ensure these parrots are fed while allowing them to direct more of their own resources toward veterinary care and improving the parrots quality of life.
With over 180 hungry beaks to feed every day, we’re at the point where we’re once again in need of food donations. If you’ve been thinking about helping, now is a wonderful time. Every bag of food, every box of fresh fruits and vegetables, and every donation—no matter the size—goes directly to the birds.
The people who are the quickest to criticize are often those who have never operated a rescue and have never been responsible for the daily care, expense, and commitment that comes with housing, feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care for hundreds of birds. It’s easy to judge from behind a keyboard. It’s much harder to dedicate your life to doing the work.
Instead of tearing rescues down, we should be lifting each other up. Every rescue is working toward the same goal—giving animals a second chance. We may all do things a little differently, but our mission is the same.
Rescues need to support one another, encourage one another, and work together—not compete, criticize, or tear each other down. When we stand together, the animals are the ones who benefit the most.
To everyone who has donated food, volunteered your time, shared our posts, or simply offered words of encouragement—thank you. Your kindness makes a difference every single day, and because of you, over 180 parrots have full bellies, safe places to land, and hope for a brighter future.
If you’d like to help us feed the flock, we’d be incredibly grateful for food donations. We are getting low:( Every single contribution helps, and every bag truly makes a difference. ❤️🦜
