The current MAARS shelter is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in a converted office building. While the indoor quality of life for the 102 members of the MAARS flock is adequate, our long-term vision is to relocate to a property that provides both indoor and outdoor environments of the highest possible quality. We also envision a future space that can safely and non-intrusively welcome members of the public for behavioral consultations, education, and fundraising. Our goal is a sanctuary that not only supports the flock’s physical and emotional well-being, but also strengthens our ability to educate, advocate, and serve the wider community.

Budgies are one of the most commonly “mutated” parrots. Bred for color, pattern, and appearance, but they are not customizable. They are still wild animals with species-specific needs, instincts, and behaviors that don’t change based on how they look.

Haribo and Snickers are part of that reality.
Like many budgies, they are the result of generations of selective breeding for mutations. Something that prioritizes appearance, not always long-term health or wellbeing.
They are our Parrots of the Month, and they deserve the same thoughtful, species-appropriate care as any other bird.
