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 August featured bird, Yondu, is an Indian Ringneck.
Paraphrased from Parrot Trust Scotland:
Don't let TikTok fool you. Behind those cute 15-second viral clips of talking Indian Ringneck Parrots is a heartbreaking reality: Indian Ringnecks (IRNs) are one of the most common parrots surrendered to rescues.
They can be difficult, aggressive, and absolutely not beginner-friendly. They have the emotional intelligence of a toddler but can live for 30+ years. IRNs have a fiercely independent streak. They generally dislike being petted or cuddle and; their ear piercing screams are highly shrill and can be persistent from morning to night.
