Overview

Mission

The oasis sanctuary is a rescue and retirement facility for exotic birds. The sanctuary offers birds a stable, loving home for the duration of the birds natural life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Oasis is dedicated to the compassionate care of displaced and exploited parrots psittacines. We provide a safe, stable, and nurturing sanctuary. Many parrots arrive at our facility due to pet trade exploitation, abuse, neglect, trafficking, or animal agency rescues. Aging and special needs are common. Pet owners often underestimate the challenges of parrots as wild animals, leading to abandonment or surrender. Since 1997, weve sheltered over 2,227 parrots, including 50 new arrivals in 2024. We currently care for 796 birds, from budgies to macaws. The longevity of parrots and the pet trade overpopulation crisis underscore the long-term necessity of our mission.
