MAARS works with the Avian Welfare Coalition (AWC) to develop, coordinate and present the highly successful annual Avian Welfare Round Table (AWRT) and associated public seminars each year.

In conjunction with the AWC, MAARS has been instrumental in the development of the avian educational materials being utilized by several national animal welfare organizations both on websites and in print, including: American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), Animal Protection Institute (API), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, In Defense of Animals (IDA), and The Fund for Animals. It is essential to the welfare of captive birds that collaborative and educational efforts continue; MAARS is committed to continuing such efforts and fostering productive relationships with other established avian welfare and humane organizations.
