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!
