Providing life-changing care and environment for special needs avian species in Minnesota.
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!

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.

Much like ourselves, a bird’s skin has sensory nerve endings that detect pain, pressure and temperature, possibly explaining why parrots are such tactile creatures. This should be considered when providing enrichment for your bird, and you should aim to provide a variety of toys not only different in size and color but also in texture. Here, Winston looks for the perfect toy. #MAARS

An energetic, mischievous Goffin’s, Bizzy knows how to engage the perfect level of ridiculous debauchery, brightening even the most humdrum sanctuary tasks. Goffin’s cockatoos are the anarchists of the captive parrot world. Each bird has their own unique spin on how best to playfully antagonize their human and avian flockmates, and Bizzy is no exception – she knows exactly who to target, who will put up with her antics, and who will limit the shenanigans by enforcing the sanctuary rules. Whether she is relentlessly divebombing her favorite victims or sweetly stealing kisses from those she adores, Bizzy is a treasured member of the MAARS flock. #MAARS
