Bird Rescue, Adoption & Sanctuary Links
All of the organizations listed below have resolved to
help stop the growing displaced
captive parrot overpopulation problem by not breeding birds or adopting
birds into breeding situations.
Note: While we support the wide variety of ways that displaced
birds may find new quality, non-breeding homes, MAARS does not necesarily
know or endorse the organizations or websites listed on this page. Please
research your adoption or surrender options carefully. We wish you the
best of luck in your bird adoption or placement search!
