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.

Our August featured

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.
