Overview
Mission
We are a Non profit Parrot Rescue. we take in exotic an non- indigenous birds that need a home either from their bird parents health declines an can no longer care for them they pass away and family doesnt want the bird or the bird was released into the wild an cant survive. we are also piloting a program to have certain species recognized as emotional support animals in the treatment of PTSD in veterans first responders battered woman or anyone dealing with PTSD. Once we purchase the property were renting were going to build trails thru the woods on this 3 acre lot going down to Styx River with bird enclosures along the way to a riverwalk and a open aviary. we also have 2 counselors lined up when were open to help with the treatment of PTSD.
What it reported doing in 2025
We started a program to have certain birds registered as emotional support animals for the treatment of PTSD in Veterans First Responders Battered Woman and Drug Addiction. we have our very first bird Sephora blue and gold macaw registered and we have 3 more were working with to see if theyre suitable. we will help others suffering like we are from PTSD get a bird registered. we also take the birds out to stores events etc... to get them socialized so we can see how they react around others. we took in a guy that was addicted to drugs almost a year ago and hes been clean for almost that whole time. hes awesome with the birds and is now one of our helpers. so far the events have been free to us so its only been gas money and supplies which are listed in expense but the cost to get her registered was 144 plus 15 for the ESA tag for her harness
