Help MAARS Take Flight!

MAARS needs your help to create a new sanctuary that provides space for flight. Your support is vital for giving the birds an environment that can better meet their unique needs than the current location.

Our History

Since  the founding of MAARS in July 1999, almost 1500 unwanted  parrots have  come through our doors. More than 1400 birds have been successfully placed into permanent homes. We’ve consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!

Our Mission

MAARS’ core function is to care for our flock at our facility, The Landing. Our primary mission is to educate the public, people who already live with parrots, and the veterinary community about the issues that face captive parrots.

Last two days for ou

Last two days for our featured birds, Puppy and Hailey!
Puppy, a Moluccan cockatoo, and Hailey, an umbrella cockatoo have formed a strong bond during their stay here. Both had numerous homes before landing at MAARS and both have medical issues that we are addressing.
We are happy to see their friendship and personalities blossom here as they enjoy their final home. They are interested in all the goings on at MAARS-here, they ponder helping with cleaning duties.
